Question

Read about Lewis Hine, a Progressive photographer. Then visit this gallery and choose at least three different photos that provoke a strong reaction from you. In the table, note the titles of the photos you chose and describe and reflect on the conditions depicted in each photo. One example has been provided for you.

Answer 1

Basket Seller: Three young girls on a street corner lean against a street light with a collection of wicker baskets at their feet. The girls look tired and dirty, which might mean they have been working for a long time, and not in the best conditions. The lights are on, so I think it is late at night. The girls should be finished with work, but it looks like they still have quite a few baskets to sell, which means they cannot go home.

Boy Picking Berries: A young boy squats in a field picking berries off bushes. He seems quite young to be working for a living. The conditions of the work look difficult.

Garment Workers: A mother and her two children sit in a room sewing clothes. Seeing children working at home like this indicates that there were even more child laborers than those visible in factories, farms, and street corners. I wonder whether these children have time to go to school or have to work all day.

My answers:

Nine-Year Old Newsgirl: A little girl is standing by a street trying to give out newspapers. There is a man on the side walking by that looks like he has one of her newspapers in his hands. The little girls background is dirty, and has a bunch of papers all over the ground. The girls face looks like it shows another side of her, but a sad version with her head down. She has on a coat, hat, boots, leggings, and a dress which might mean she comes from a family of wealth.

Girls at Weaving Machines: Two girls and a woman are all at weaving machines. The two girls look young and they are wearing the same outfit and ribbon in their hair. The woman at the end looks older than the two girls and she is not wearing the same outfit as the two girls. This might indicate that she is the boss of them. The first girl looks like she is weaving something while the other girl looks like she is making or folding something on a table.

The Noon Hour at Indianapolis Cannery: There a bunch of boys and two girls from small children to teens who are gathered in a line by a railroad track and train. They all look like they are posing for the picture. The two girls have on dresses, while the boys have on overalls and hats. Some of them have their arms around each other, which might mean they are close friends or related. Some of them are smiling while the others stand with a certain look on their face. The boy on top of the train looks happy and is smiling. The oldest of them all look like they are on the steps while the others on on the sidewalk and railroad track.
