EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Lewis Hine in June 1911, transports us back to a time when child labor was a harsh reality. The image showcases the daily life of an adolescent girl working as a spinner in the Century Cotton Mills in South Boston, Virginia. Standing barefoot with her younger sibling on the right, this ten-year-old worker is burdened not only with her own responsibilities but also with caring for her baby sister. The sepia-toned portrait captures the essence of poverty that plagued rural communities during this era. With dirt smudges on their faces and ragged clothing, these young girls represent the face of hardship and struggle. Their tired expressions speak volumes about their early entry into adulthood and the sacrifices they make to support their families. In this poignant scene, we witness both strength and vulnerability intertwined. Despite their circumstances, these sisters stand tall amidst adversity while embodying resilience beyond their years. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the challenges faced by working-class families in Southeast America at that time. Preserved through time by The Granger Collection's meticulous care for historical artifacts like this one, it allows us to reflect upon our past and appreciate how far we have come in terms of social progress and child welfare laws.
