Lewis Hine

A little spinner in the Mollahan Mills, Newberry, S.C. She was tending her "sides" like a veteran, but after I took the photo, the overseer came up and said in an apologetic tone that was pathetic, "She just happened in." Then a moment later he repeated the information. The mills appear to be full of youngsters that "just happened in," or " are helping sister." Dec. 3, 08. Witness Sara R. Hine. Location: Newberry, South Carolina

The image depicts a young child standing in the midst of an industrial setting with numerous large machines. The photograph is sepia-toned and has a vintage quality, suggesting it may be from early 20th-century America. A little spinner in the Mollahan Mills, Newberry, S.C., she was tending her "sides" like a veteran The child appears to be working in what looks like a textile mill or factory. She is wearing an apron and standing between rows of large machinery that could be used for spinning yarn or some other industrial process. After I took the photo, the overseer came up... A supervisor comes into view with his head bowed slightly as he approaches the child. The caption suggests that he was apologetic in addressing her situation but repeats himself shortly after speaking to emphasize it further. She just happened in The text indicates a sense of casualness or indifference about the young girl's presence, implying she may not be officially working there and perhaps got into this area unintentionally. Then a moment later he repeated... Another repetition from another overseer is mentioned but without context provided for what was said. This could imply that they were emphasizing their point again in an attempt to convey more information or ensure it has been understood by the child. The mills appear to be full of youngsters This sentence implies a sense of overcrowding within these industrial settings, where [...]

A sepia-toned photograph depicting a rural scene with three individuals standing in front of an old, weather-worn wooden house. The structure appears to be partially constructed or under maintenance as some sections are missing walls and the roof is incomplete. A large metal implement stands beside the building on its left side while various tools can be seen scattered around. Three people stand near the porch: two women wearing long dresses with bonnets, a man in work attire, all seemingly engaged in conversation. The environment looks desolate aside from their presence; there's an expanse of barren field and no other structures or objects visible within close proximity. The historical context indicates this photo is part of Lewis Hine's collection documenting the lives of rural workers during early 20th century America, specifically mentioning a 'renters' home near West Texas owned by Tripp farm. The family living there consists of five members with information about marital status and land ownership included in report references like "Hine Report" seen on provided URL. The photograph is marked as part of Lewis Hine's collection which implies its relevance to social documentary photography, particularly during the early 1900s when such photographs were often used for advocacy purposes.

The image depicts a group of boys standing and walking on a cobblestone street in front of a picket fence. The photograph is sepia-toned, suggesting it may be from the late 19th or early 20th century. Several men are also present in the scene; some appear to be observing the children while others engage in conversation with each other. The boys vary in age and attire, but all seem to belong to a similar social group - perhaps schoolmates or neighborhood friends. The street is lined with brick buildings, and there appears to be an iron gate on the right side of the frame. Overall, this scene captures a moment from everyday life that offers insight into the experiences of children in New Bedford, Massachusetts during that period. This image comes with some additional information provided by its source: Peter Horency is mentioned as being 14 years old and residing at County Street; James Knowles appears to be 15. Further details about these individuals can also be found on a website dedicated to Lewis Hine's work, an influential American photographer known for his documentation of child labor during the early part of the twentieth century.

The image is a black and white photograph featuring three young boys standing side by side against an out-of-focus background. They appear to be wearing work-appropriate clothing, with two of them in suits or jackets paired with checkered shirts underneath, while the third boy wears a striped shirt without a jacket. All three are dressed in flat caps, which were common headwear for men during that era. The tallest boy is positioned on the left and slightly ahead of the other boys, suggesting he may be leading their group. The middle boy stands directly behind him with his hands clasped at waist level, while the third boy has one hand resting lightly on a hip, conveying different levels of casualness in their stances. Their facial expressions are serious, reflecting perhaps their responsibilities or thoughts. The photograph is labeled as depicting "Three of the youngest boys working in Holden" and provides additional details about individuals' names, addresses, occupations (which could be inferred from context), and locations: Bennington, Vermont. The historical significance lies not only in capturing a moment but also potentially shedding light on child labor practices during that time period. The image appears to have been sourced or credited through the provided URL link for further information about this specific photograph and its context within Lewis Hine's work as a photographer known for documenting social issues, [...]

Three adults and six children from seven years to twelve years hard at work on a sugar beet farm near Greeley Colorado. The father said: "The children can thin the beets better than grown ups. We all work fourteen hours a day at times because when the beets is ready they has to be done. About twelve weeks is about all the children can work on thinning and topping. Some of them hoe a little. See Hine Report, Colorado Beet Workers, July, 1915. Location: Greeley vicinity, Colorado.

The image depicts a group of eight individuals working in the field on what appears to be a sugar beet farm. There are three adults and six children, ranging from seven years old up to twelve years old, engaged in various agricultural activities such as thinning or topping the sugar beets. Some of them hold tools like hoes while others use their hands for the task at hand. The group is dressed in work-appropriate clothing including hats, aprons, and overalls suitable for fieldwork during early 20th-century America. There's a sense of focus and determination on everyone’s faces as they perform their duties. In terms of background, we can see an open expanse with hints of trees or shrubbery in the far distance under a slightly hazy sky suggesting outdoor rural conditions typical for farm labor during that era. This image serves as historical documentation, reflecting working-class life and child labor practices on American farms. It is linked to Lewis Hine's photographic work documenting various aspects of industrialization including human labor within it; particularly relevant here being the depiction of young children engaged in arduous agricultural labor under challenging conditions.
