Point, Click, Shoot: Lewis Hine’s Photographs Create a Turning Point for Child Labor ​​​​​​​

"Portrait of Lewis Wickes Hine." (Medium, 1904)

"Graflex Camera" (Digital Photography Review, 1901)

"For the child it is a delusion from every point of view.

For industry it is a fallacy——wasteful, unprofitable, and inefficient.

For society it is a menace——wrecking lives, breaking homes, and ruining citizens.

WE CANNOT AFFORD CHILD LABOR. IT COSTS TOO MUCH."

~Lewis Hine, "The High Cost of Child Labor," 1914 (The Child Labor Bulletin)
