Hine, a pioneer in the use of photography to combat social ills, crusaded to change laws that condoned the exploitation of children by factories, mills, and farms. During the years 1908 through 1918, the artist made hundreds of photographs from Maine to Texas for the National Child Labor Committee. His work preceded by twenty years the political campaigns for preventing child labor in this country. Never before exhibited as a group, the photographs are arranged by the different cities in Texas where Hine worked during 1913; a number of the prints are accompanied by his field notes.
