Sale 2466 - Icons & Images: Photographs & Photobooks, February 15, 2018
45 c LEWIS W. HINE (1874-1940) One of many youngsters working in Carolina cotton mills. Silver contact print, the image measuring 4 7 / 8 x6 3 / 4 inches (12.4x17.1 cm.), the sheet slightly larger, with Hine’s Interpretive Photography, Hastings-on-Hudson hand stamp and his title, date, and numeric notations, in pencil, on verso. My child labor photographs have already set the authorities to work to see ‘if such things can be possible.’ They try to get around them by crying ‘FAKE,’ but therein lies the value of data and a witness.
