EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken by Lewis Wickes Hine in the early 20th century, we are introduced to Lena Lochiavo, an 11-year-old girl who is not only a basket seller but also a pretzel vendor. The image captures her standing confidently at the entrance of a saloon in Sixth Street Market, Cincinnati, Ohio. Lena's determined expression and strong posture reveal her resilience despite her young age. She stands amidst crates and baskets that hold her merchandise, showcasing her entrepreneurial spirit. Her presence adds life to the bustling street scene as passersby can be seen in the background going about their daily activities. This thought-provoking portrait sheds light on child labor during that era. It serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by children like Lena who had to work at such tender ages to support themselves or their families. Despite these hardships, however, there is an undeniable sense of pride emanating from Lena's face. Lewis Wickes Hine masterfully captures both the innocence and strength within this young girl through his gelatin silver print. This vintage photograph now resides in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , preserving Lena Lochiavo's story for generations to come.
