HINE, Lewis W. - The Boss Don't Care. Kinderarbeit in den USA 1908-1917

Background information

At the beginning of the 20th century, the photographer Lewis W. HINE documented the lives of working children in the USA. Commissioned by America's first child labor lobby organization, the National Child Labor Committee, he used his camera as a weapon to fight the exploitation of the youngest and most vulnerable, who, vulnerable to their employers, carried out both mental and physical injuries from their work.
