Lewis Wickes Hine (mentioned on object), c. 1909
American photographer Lewis Hine is known primarily for his investigative photographs of child labour, which he took for the National Child Labor Committee from 1908. He recorded how young children were exploited in factories, mines, and in fields and on the street. Hine’s photographs are a classic example of how photography contributed to social reform.
