Lewis Hine (1874-1940) was an American photographer and social reformer known for his impactful documentation of child labor in the early 20th century. Through his compelling photographs, Hine exposed the harsh conditions endured by child workers and played a pivotal role in advocating for legislative reforms. His images humanized the young laborers and sparked public awareness, contributing to the eventual eradication of child labor.
