Lewis Wickes Hine's "Work Portraits"
Features 20 photos from "Lewis Wickes Hine's self described 'work portraits' series [which] began shortly after World War I when he returned from Europe. ... This time, instead of documenting the decrepit working conditions of men, women and children in American factories, he chose to glorify the inextricable communion between the worker and the machine in a more positive way." Includes a brief biography. From the New York Public Library.
