I would say I was surprised to see no comment about this excellent and important 'post' Fernando Rabelo on the 'site' of the work of Lewis Hine. This photographer was researching and came across the 'link' this 'blog' that made me super happy with the information I found. I'm in the process of making my work Completion of course of Bachelor in Geography from the University of Santa Catarina (UDESC), and this work will focus on the contribution of Photography in geographical science. I see the work of Lewis Hine as a tremendous example of social contribution in American society, since it contributed to the modification of child labor laws in that country and thus setting an example for the rest of the world. I already thank you for your cooperation in my work, as already said, is under development and will be augmented with information of this 'site'. Thank you!
