Combining his training as an educator with his \u003cstrong\u003ehumanist concerns\u003c\/strong\u003e, Hine was one of the \u003cstrong\u003eearliest photographers to use the camera as a documentary tool\u003c\/strong\u003e, capturing in particular labor conditions, housing, and immigrants arriving on Ellis Island. His images, including those of children in cotton mills, factories, coal mines, and fields, became \u003cstrong\u003eicons of photographic history\u003c\/strong\u003e that helped to \u003cstrong\u003etransform labor laws\u003c\/strong\u003e in the United States.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book brings together a representative collection of Lewis W. Hine's \u003cstrong\u003ephotography from all periods of his work\u003c\/strong\u003e. It spans his earliest forays into social-documentary work through to his more artistic and interpretative late photographs, including his phenomenal images of the construction of the \u003cstrong\u003eEmpire State Building\u003c\/strong\u003e and his symbiotic staging of human and machine as a comment on increasing industrialization.
