EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "HINE: CLINTON MILLS, 1908" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. The image showcases the exterior of Clinton Mills, a cotton mill located in Clinton, South Carolina during the early 20th century. With its sepia tones and vintage aesthetic, this photograph by Lewis Hine captures the essence of an era marked by child labor and rapid industrialization. As we gaze at the towering smokestacks that pierce through the sky, we are reminded of the immense scale of this textile mill. It is hard not to be struck by the juxtaposition between its imposing structure and the innocence it once exploited – many youngsters were employed within these walls. Lewis Hine's lens offers us a glimpse into a time when children were forced into labor instead of enjoying their childhoods. This haunting image serves as a poignant reminder of how far society has come in terms of workers' rights and child protection laws. The Granger Collection presents this historic photograph with great care, allowing us to reflect on our past while appreciating our progress. Let it serve as a testament to human resilience and remind us that every step towards justice is worth taking.
