EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a haunting scene in Scotts Run, West Virginia. The image captures one of the abandoned mine buildings that were once part of the stranded camp of Jere. Standing tall and weathered, this particular building is identified as the old fan house, its exterior telling tales of a bygone era. What makes this photograph even more poignant is the presence of children within its frame. These young ones are now part of a WPA nursery that functions within the camp. March 1937 marked their existence in this desolate place, where hope seemed to flicker amidst hardship. Lewis Hine, an American photographer known for using his camera as a tool for social reform, captured this powerful moment. His lens not only documented scenes like these but also aimed to ignite change and shed light on societal issues. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as a reminder of America's past struggles during the Great Depression and how individuals like Lewis Wickes Hine played pivotal roles in reform movements and documenting social change through their artistry. This photograph encapsulates both history and humanity while inviting us to reflect on our collective journey towards progress.
