MOWING ACCIDENT, 1915 - A Heartbreaking Tale of Childhood Labor in Rural America
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant photograph captured by Lewis Hine in August 1915 tells the tragic story of a twelve-year-old boy and his devastating encounter with a mowing machine on a farm in rural America. In this sepia-toned portrait, we see the young adolescent seated, his injured arm resting gently in a sling. The image serves as a haunting reminder of the harsh realities faced by children during an era when child labor was prevalent. The innocence that should have defined this boy's youth has been abruptly shattered by an unforgiving accident. His dismembered hand is evidence of the dangerous equipment he was forced to operate at such a tender age. Lewis Hine, renowned for his powerful documentation of child labor abuses, captures not only the physical toll inflicted upon these young workers but also their emotional scars. Through his lens, he exposes the early hardships endured by countless children across America. As we gaze upon this photograph from Granger Art on Demand's collection, let us be reminded of our responsibility to protect and nurture our future generations. May it serve as a call to action against exploitative practices that rob children of their childhoods and potential.
