Thank you for making this book available.

A remarkable joint work between writers Pauline Goldmark and Ruth S True and photographer Lewis Hine. Journalism, social research, documentary and a call for change, all in one.

Lewis Hine was a remarkable photographer. All photography is documentary in nature, sometimes indirectly, capturing subtly significant facts, as say with Eugene Atget or Edward Weston, sometimes more directly, looking at matters of immediate social concern, as with Hine.

Hine had the attitude of a humble social documenter, a straight workman of photography, but his photographs present us also with a deeper visual aesthetic, on a par with more "artistic" photographers. "Straight photography" in its purest form.

Hine is one of the Gods of photography. It is good to see his work in the context of this book.
