State Building.Photographer, teacher, and sociologist Lewis W. Hine
(1874–1940) shaped our consciousness of American working life in
the early 20th centurylike no other. Combining his training as an
educator with his humanist concerns, Hine was one of the earliest
photographers to use the camera as a documentary tool, capturing in
particular labor conditions, housing, and immigrants arriving on
Ellis Island. His images, including those of children in cotton
mills, factories, coal mines, and fields, became icons of
photographic historythat helped to transform labor lawsin the
United States.This book brings together a representative collection
of Lewis W. Hine’s photography from all periods of his work. It

his more artistic and interpretative late photographs, including
his phenomenal images of the construction of the Empire State
Buildingand his symbiotic staging of human and machine as a comment
on increasing industrialization. Alongside the near 350
