82.1. Hine, Lewis W. Lewis Hine and the American Social Conscience by Judith Mara Gutman. Walker, 1967. 1st ed., cloth with protected dust jacket that has an old price label in upper right corner. Price on inner dust jacket flap crossed off and another price written in. Scarce title, one of the essential references on Lewis Wickes Hine, social reformer and one of the most important documentary photographers in the history of photography. Born in Wisconsin, Hine relocated to New York City, where he taught at the Ethical Culture School from 1901 to 1908. Beginning in 1905, he photographed immigrants at Ellis Island and brought his students, including Paul Strand, to visit Alfred Stieglitz at the Little Galleries of the Photo-Secession at 291 Fifth Avenue. Trained as a sociologist, Hine was appointed official photographer for the National Child Labor Committee in 1911 to do an extensive documentation of labor conditions in the United States, for which he photographed America from the Atlantic to the Midwest. During World War I, he was a photographer for the Red Cross in Europe and in the 1930s photographed the construction of the Empire State Building and documented the Tennessee Valley Authority Project. Rex Tugwell’s textbook, American Economic Life, drew heavily on Hine’s photographs (gathered for Tugwell by Roy Stryker), as there were relatively few other sources in the 1920s. Hine died in 1940, leaving a legacy of commitment to social change through photography that continues to inspire photographers today. This book includes an extensive biographical essay, nearly 100 photographs, and a detailed bibliography. Clothbound, in fine condition with the very good dust jacket that has small spot where sticker removed in upper right corner of cover and is in better condition than usually found as it is on rather thin paper. $35.
