Stunning visuals and poetic text combine to tell the inspiring
story of Lewis Hine (1874–1940), a teacher and photographer who
employed his art as a tool for social reform. Working for the
National Child Labor Committee (NCLC), Hine traveled the United
States, taking pictures of children as young as five toiling under
dangerous conditions in cotton mills, seafood canneries, farms, and
coal mines. He often wore disguises to sneak into factories,
impersonating a machinery inspector or traveling salesman. He said,
"If I could tell this story in words, I wouldn't need to lug a
camera." His poignant pictures attracted national attention and
were instrumental in the passage of child labor laws. The Traveling
Camera contains extensive back matter including a time line,
original photos, and a bibliography.
