Lewis Hine's Photo of Child Labor


In this picture, I see a story of a little boy that is working for only about 50 cents a day. His work hours are from the early morning to late at night. He needs to help provide his family with at least some money for them to survive. This picture really stands out to me because of how young this boy is. He is working and seems like he is only 8 years old. You can really tell the difference between the man and the child, to see that the child is really young. Looking at the child's face he may be in trouble with this man. He could be in trouble because he couldn't sell all the newspapers he was required to do. His face is staring at the piece of paper the man is writing on. He has a worried and scared look on his face, while the man's face is very serious about it. I picked this picture because even during those times, men women, and children needed to work vigorously just to barely get by and survive.
