The Mail features some brilliant sepia-toned, black and white pictures from the Library of Congress by teacher-turned-photographer Lewis Wickes Hine that helped to change America’s labour laws.
Hine took the photos, featuring working children as young as three years old, between 1908 and 1924 for the National Child Labor Committee, the organisation that lobbied for tougher labour legislation.
