The greatness of Lewis Hine...

Every now and then I jump onto LOC and lose myself in their archives. I've written about Lewis Hine's textile children images before but I constantly find myself being drawn back to them. LOC has 50+MB Tiffs of a lot of these shots and the archive itself is huge (5000+ Hine images alone). They include a mixture of scans from prints as well as from the original negatives.

Here just a small - mildly tweaked - selection of both the textile shots and some other supporting images.
