EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of American industrial history. Taken in 1937 at the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Eddystone, Pennsylvania, it showcases a proud and determined black steel worker amidst his workplace. The photographer behind this powerful image is Lewis W. Hine, an influential American artist known for his documentation of labor conditions during the early 20th century. The subject's strong presence commands attention as he stands confidently against a backdrop of towering machinery. His rugged attire and muscular build reflect the physical demands of his occupation, while his focused gaze reveals a sense of dedication to his craft. This photograph serves as both a tribute to the resilience and skill of workers like him, as well as a reminder of their often overlooked contributions to America's industrial growth. Measuring just 12.7 x 17.8 cm (5 x 7 in. ), this gelatin silver print holds within its small frame an immense story that resonates with viewers even today. It offers us a glimpse into an era when manual labor was at its peak and reminds us that progress comes from the hands and sweat of hardworking individuals like this unnamed steel worker. As we admire this timeless piece from the Liszt Collection, let us remember not only its artistic value but also honor those who labored tirelessly to shape our nation's infrastructure – unsung heroes whose efforts continue to inspire generations to come.
