From 1908 to 1924, documentary photographer Lewis Hine (American, 1874–1940) photographed children working in coal mines, cotton mills, farms, tenements, and city streets. His images appeared in pamphlets, posters, traveling exhibitions, and lantern-slide presentations across the country. Ultimately, these searing photographs helped shape labor legislation in the United States and established a model for documentary photography.
