Lewis Hine's Photos of Child Labor


I chose this picture because I feel this is the one that captures the feel of life in the mills. The little girl standing there ,being forced to work in awful conditions shows just how awful it was to live back then. The girl is young and by the expression on her face is clearly afraid , and uncomfortable being there. The photo shows just how terrible the cleaning conditions had been, and how there was no sympathy shown to the young weak ,and fragile.
