Lewis Hine

One of the first things I learned about Lewis Hine, is that he took a photo I have known of many years!   One of the GPs I used to work for had this image on his wall.

 

Famous image of workers on the Empire State Building by Lewis Hine

I think it demonstrates how this image is now considered for it’s aesthetics rather than any social issues that Hine may or may not have been trying to highlight at the time.
