This book delves into the influential photography of Lewis Hine, a pioneering sociologist who turned to photography to expose social injustices in the early 20th century. It explores Hine’s documentation of European immigrants at Ellis Island, his impactful work with the National Child Labor Committee highlighting child labor exploitation, and his iconic "Men at Work" series celebrating labor's dignity. The volume, featuring a complete facsimile of "Men at Work," is compiled from George Eastman House's collection. It presents thematic groupings such as "Ellis Island," "Child Labor," and "Empire State Building," along with rare family photos and a detailed chronology of Hine's life and works.
