Child Labor Reform Photographs

Photograph A-In photograph A, there is a girl standing in some clothes that look old, dirty, and a bit to big for her. she is stahding next to a really big spinner, and looks quite tired and filthy.

Photograph B-In photograph B there are five girls standing next to each other. three of them are sort of smiling, but they don't look very happy. The other two look angry. the one in the middle is looking directly at the camera giving it a sour look. the one on the right of the girl in the middle has bags under her eyes which probably means that she works for long hours. All of their clothes are dirty looking.

Photograph C-In photograph c a young girl is standing in an aisle between to looms. she looks very young; maybe seven or eight. she has a grim look on her face, and her arms are stiffly at her side. the floor of the room is dirty, and a lot of cotton is on the floor, which was probably not very good to breath in.

Photograph D-in photograph D a young boy is standing by a lampost selling newspapers to passerby. The people passing by look a bit like they are ignoring him. he has a hopeful/sad look on his face. he appears to be by a train station. also it is snowing outside, and the boy probably had to work all day.

Photograph E-in photograph many young boys in winter jackets and hats sitting down and sifting through some coal. there are two men standing up holding an iron bar that was used to "prod them in to obedience." the picture has some gray dust in it, which was the coal in the air and we are told by hine that the dust penetrated the utmost recesses of the boys lungs.

Photograph F- in photograph f there are many boys standing in a glass shop. there are a lot of pipes in the background.
