DescriptionLaborers at a Russian boarding house by Lewis Hines, Homestead, PA, 1909 (cropped).jpg
Laborers at a Russian boarding house by Lewis Hines, Homestead, PA, 1909. A pioneer in the use of the camera to document America's immigrants and poor, Lewis Hines made photographs for the Pittsburgh Survey, a pioneering sociological study of industrial life in Allegheny County, while working as staff photographer for the Russell Sage Foundation. In 1909 Hines photographed these Russian workers outside a Homestead boarding house in 1909. Hine's compelling images gave faces to Pittsburgh's immigrant workers and helped increase public awareness to their plight.
