<B>Lewis Hine, Portrait of a Young Black Girl entitled "At Home - Pittsburgh, 1909",</B></I> 5" x 7", "Lewis W. Hine Interpretive Photography Hastings-on-Hudson, New York" stamped on verso. Lewis Hine (American, 1874-1940) spent years of his life photographing child labors in American businesses in an effort to expose the conditions under which they worked. His efforts are generally recognized as the first use of photography to bring about legislative change. He studied sociology in Chicago and New York (1900-07) before finding work at the Ethical Culture School. Hine, who had purchased his first camera in 1903, employed his photographs in his teaching and established what became known as documentary photography. A few very minor corner creases, else very fine condition. <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
