About the Photos

Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Most were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.

Heh. That's nothing compared to some of the other Hine kids.

 

Pipe?

He's about 14 and he's smoking a pipe. He's been around the block.

 

15?

I would guess 12 or 13. Kids had to grow up quickly back then.

 

15?

No way he is 15, I bet he is 12
