EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "HOME INDUSTRY, c1910" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of early 20th century New York City. In this snapshot of daily life, we witness an immigrant family diligently engaged in their trade of making men's trousers within the confines of their tenement home. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, where families relied on their own skills and hard work to make ends meet. The room is filled with activity as each member plays a vital role in the garment-making process. A young boy can be seen assisting his parents, his small hands busy with fabric and thread. Meanwhile, a girl attentively observes her elders, perhaps learning the craft that will sustain her family's livelihood. Lewis W. Hine skillfully combines oil painting techniques over a photograph to add depth and texture to this poignant scene. Through his lens, he sheds light on both the resilience and struggles faced by working-class immigrants during this period. As we gaze upon this piecework being carried out amidst modest surroundings, it serves as a reminder of the hardships endured by those seeking better opportunities in America's bustling metropolis. This evocative artwork invites us to reflect on our shared history and appreciate how far we have come since then.
