HINE - HOME INDUSTRY, 1911. A Glimpse into the Struggles of a Working-Class Family
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant photograph captured by Lewis Hine in December 1911 offers a glimpse into the harsh realities faced by families living in unsanitary tenement apartments during the early 20th century. The image portrays a family diligently engaged in their daily work of making flowers, an industry that provided meager income for many impoverished households. Located at 302 Mott Street in New York City's Lower East Side, this cramped apartment serves as both home and workplace for these resilient individuals. The worn furniture and dirty surroundings reflect the challenging conditions they endure on a daily basis. In this sepia-toned snapshot, we witness a scene of cooperation and teamwork among family members. The mother skillfully crafts delicate blooms while her children assist with various tasks. A baby lies peacefully nearby, unaware of the hardships surrounding them. The photograph not only sheds light on child labor practices prevalent during that era but also highlights the strength and resilience exhibited by working-class families striving to make ends meet. It serves as a powerful reminder of how economic circumstances can shape lives and limit opportunities. Lewis Hine's lens captures not just an ordinary moment but also tells a story of poverty, perseverance, and determination within these four walls. This print from Granger Art on Demand stands as an enduring testament to those who lived through such challenging times – reminding us to appreciate our own privileges while acknowledging the struggles
