📷 Lewis Hine 📷

Lewis Hine - Newsies, 1910 - Newsies: Newsies at Skeeter's Branch, Jefferson near Franklin. They were all smoking. St. Louis, Missouri.

Lewis Hine, Photographer of the American Working Class

Few American photographers have captured the misery, dignity, and occasional bursts of solidarity within US working-class life as compellingly as Lewis Hine did in the early twentieth century.

Lewis Hine - Breaker boys, 1910 - Child workers who broke down coal at a mine in South Pittston, Pennsylvania.

Lewis Hine - Little Spinner 1909, Globe Cotton Mill. Overseer said she was regularly employed. Augusta, Georgia. Library of Congress

Lewis Hine - Ten Year Old Spinner, North Carolina Cotton Mill, 1908

Lewis Hine - Little Lottie 1911. She was a regular oyster shucker in Alabama Canning Co. (Bayou La Batre, Alabama)

Lewis Hine -Little Rosie 1913. She was a regular oyster shucker. She was just 7 years old and in her second year at Varn & Platt Canning Co. Bluffton, South Carolina

As an investigative photographer, Hine chronicled the normalized labor abuses in US factories leading up to the Great Depression. Not only did he help introduce some of the country’s first child labor laws, he also revolutionized photography’s artistic use value.

Lewis Hine - Child laborers in glasswork. Indiana, 1908

Lewis Hine -Baseball team composed mostly of child laborers from a glassmaking factory. Indiana, 1908

Lewis Hine - Factory Boy, Glassworks, Alexandria, Virginia, 1909

Lewis Hine - One Of The Loading Boys In J. S. Farrand Packing Co. Baltimore, Maryland, 1909

Lewis Hine - Newsboys, Bridgeport Conn., 1909

Hine once argued that a good picture is “a reproduction of impressions made upon the photographer which he desires to repeat to others.” For him, an organized workforce was the epitome of empathy and mutual benefit, which he hoped to convey to the greater American public.

Lewis Hine - Empire State Building worker in 1931

Lewis Hine - Power house mechanic working on steam pump, 1920.

Lewis Wickes Hine (1874-1940)

“If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn’t need to lug around a camera.” -Lewis Hine

Abbas Attar's photographs of Dhaka on December 16, 1971: when the Pakistani Armed Forces finally surrendered to Mukti Bahini, ending the nine-month Liberation War and 1971 Bangladesh genocide and marking the official secession of East Pakistan to become the new state of Bangladesh. Bangladesh commemorates this day as Victory Day (বিজয় দিবস) to honour the martyrs who laid their lives down in the war.

A piano designed to be able to be played by the bedridden. Both the bed and piano are able to be rolled together for use.

If I understand correctly, it could also be used in the typical piano set-up, but if you weren't bedridden and had the option to play the piano from your bed, why wouldn't you?

This is not a painting. One of my favorite historical photos of all time. The photograph was taken in 1911 by Francis James (FJ) Mortimer FRPS (1874-1944) a pioneer of pictorial photography. The sea his favorite subject, captured the shipwreck Arden Craig, a three-mast wheat ship that crashed into the rocks with nine feet of water after the captain became disorientated in heavy fog.

Ling Fushun, Chinaʼs Communist revolutionary leader moments before his public execution by the KMT nationalists in 1936.

His last words were:

“Folks, do not fear death, my family branch may end, but the revolution will live on!”

The reactionaries killed him slowly by Lingchi (death by a thousand cuts).

The execution lasted for 2 hours.

The barbarity of the KMT nationalists knew no boundaries. Today, the KMT is located in Taiwan and recieves weaponry mainly from the United States.
