EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Scotts Run, West Virginia in March 1937. Taken by Lewis Hine, a renowned American photographer and advocate for social reform, this image showcases Pursglove Mines Nos. 3 and 4 - the largest company on Scotts Run at that time. The scene depicts the main Scotts Run Highway, enveloped in an atmosphere laden with coal dust - a common sight on any working day in this industrial region. The photograph serves as a stark reminder of the harsh conditions faced by coal miners during this era. Lewis Hine's camera was not just a tool for capturing images; it was his instrument for bringing about social change. Through his powerful documentary work, he shed light on the plight of workers and sought to improve their living and working conditions. In this particular photograph, Hine masterfully portrays the struggles faced by those residing in Scotts Run during the Great Depression. The presence of coal dust hanging heavily in the air symbolizes both physical hardship and economic turmoil experienced by these communities. As we gaze upon this poignant snapshot from history, let us remember Lewis Hine's tireless efforts to use photography as a means to ignite reform movements and bring about positive societal transformations across America.
