“Once we open the possibility of an environmental image that includes social space, includes communities, we arrive at a representation of environmental harm that adequately conveys the ways in which social and environmental spaces are intertwined. Furthermore, we come to see the damages wrought by American industrial infrastructures as both environmental pollutions and social wastes.” – p. 10

Author Chris Balaschak examines histories of American photography and the environmental movement, as well as the industrial and post-industrial economic conditions of the United States in the twentieth century. With particular attention to a material history of photography focused on the display and dissemination of documentary images through print media and exhibitions, the work places emphasis on the depiction of communities and places harmed by industrialized capitalism. – Summarized from Publisher’s note.

Between 1908 and 1911, the photographer and social reformer Lewis Hine travelled the U.S. for the National Child Labor Committee (NCLC) documenting child labor — in factories, textile mills, canneries, and coal mines — focusing in particular on the Carolina Piedmont. Amongst the hundreds of photographs he made in this time is this unique set of composite photographs of Southern cotton mill workers. Each image was created by purposively rephotographing several workers upon the same photographic plate. The idea of overlaying portraits in this way was not without precedent. The technique was invented in 1880s by Sir Francis Galton who used multiple exposures to create an “average” portrait from many different faces. For Galton, the primary purpose of the method was so as to advance his views on human ideal types, and it could be argued that Hine used it in a similar way (albeit divorced from the somewhat suspect context of phrenology), to generalise his observations regarding the damaging physical effects of the back-breaking factory work on young bodies. However, the fact that Hine overlays faces of quite different physicality perhaps implies a subtler motive, one perhaps more orientated around the haunting quality of the final image. The composites were never published in Hine’s lifetime, although the portraits of the same children used in the process do appear in posters for the NCLC alongside such headlines as “Making Human Junk: Shall Industry Be Allowed To Put This Cost On Society?”. In general, Hine’s heart-rending images from his time with the NCLC — often the result of putting himself at great personal danger — helped to influence the change in several laws, including the Keating-Owen Child Labor Act of 1916.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #laborday #work #historyofphotography #lewishine #labor #work #multiexposure #doubleexposure #collage #blackandwhite https://www.instagram.com/p/B16qJNGHiNz/?igshid=10gzoso8e3opm

LIFE’s “100 Photographs That Changed The World”. Breaker Boys [1910] What Charles Dickens did with words for the underage toilers of London, Lewis Hine did with photographs for the youthful laborers in the United States. In 1908 the National Child Labor Committee was already campaigning to put the nation’s two million young workers back in school when the group hired Hine. The Wisconsin native traveled to half the states, capturing images of children working in mines, mills and on the streets. Here he has photographed “breaker boys,” whose job was to separate coal from slate, in South Pittston, PA. Once again, pictures swayed the public in a way cold statistics had not, and the country enacted laws banning child labor. (Photo by Lewis H. Hine.

#Repost @thetenementmuseum: “When we talk about #immigrants at the Tenement Museum, our intent is to find a common understanding of the American Dream, whether that dream was realized in 1874 or 2017… We hope that by learning of their dreams and the trials they overcame, our visitors might come to a conclusion themselves for a question we often pose on our tours: What does it mean to be American?” We discuss the history of the undocumented immigrant, and how that term has changed over time, on the Tenement Museum blog.
