Lewis hine photography dates for easter
"Picturing the Century: One Hundred Years of Photography from the National Archives"was a unique selection of color and black and white photographs celebrating 100 years of American life, drawn from the National Archives and Records Administration vast archives of more than 8 million images. This major exhibition opened in the National Archives Circular Gallery in Washington, DC, on March 12, 1999 and remained on display through July 4, 2001.
The photographs in this exhibition touched on all aspects of 20th century life. Along with the pictures one expects the government to keep -- images of Presidents and their families, of major wars, and of international diplomacy -- there are also many surprises --breathtaking vintage prints by Ansel Adams, heartbreaking vignettes of abject poverty and despair by well-known photographers such as Lewis Hine and Dorothea Lange, and snapshots of Americans at work and play by anonymous photographers. Taken as a whole, these 190 images reflect the kaleidoscopic nature of American life -- the ever-changing fabric that characterized this century. These photos capture fleeting moments in the rush of 20th-century events.
The exhibition opened with a portrait of American prosperity--Easter Sunday on Fifth Avenue in New York City, 1900, by an unknown photographer. The photograph reflects the innocence of the age -- pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages mingling together on New York's most fashionable street. There is no inkling of the first airplane, much less the first manned space flight, the two world wars with the intervening depression, racial unrest or the search for equality, all of which played major roles in shaping the 20th century and are pictured so strikingly in this new exhibition.
Only a few miles away, but worlds apart, the hustle and bustle of Hester Street life is depicted in a 1903 photograph.
A third photograph, thousands of miles away, shows another street scene at the dawn of the new century

Documenting the exploitation of child labourers and stirring America's conscience through the images of working children which helped change the nation's child labor laws, the American sociologist and photographer, Lewis Wickes Hine, is remembered for his documentation of exploited child workers and government projects in early 20 century.
One of the earliest photographers to use the photograph as a documentary tool, Hine was born on September 26, 1874, in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

Hine was educated as a sociologist at the University of Chicago and later continued his education at New York and Columbia Universities, before started teaching at the Ethical Culture School.
Purchasing his first camera in 1903, Hine employed his photographs in his t
