Lewis W. Hine: America at Work

Lewis Hine (1874-1940)

Synopsis

This book presents a comprehensive collection of Lewis W. Hine's photography, encapsulating his impact on American working life documentation in the early 20th century. It features approximately 350 photographs spanning Hine's career, from his early social-documentary works capturing labor conditions and immigrants at Ellis Island to his later artistic projects, such as the Empire State Building construction. Hine's images, including those of children in industrial settings, were pivotal in transforming U.S. labor laws. The book also includes an essay by the editor on Hine's life and pioneering photography, all compiled within the Bibliotheca Universalis series by TASCHEN.
