Lewis Hine, Breaker Boys



This is one of my favorite photographs:

Lewis Hine
Breaker Boys, Noon hour in the Ewen Breaker, Pennsylvania Coal Co. Location: South Pittston, Pennsylvania
January 1911
The Library of Congress

Poster Child (or Poster Children?) for Child Labor Laws and Black Lung

It's a nice little find on the Library of Congress website.
