A collection of photographs by American photographer Louis Hein (1874-1940). Luis Hein, who became a teacher in New York in 1901, got a camera in 1903 and went to Ellis Island, where the Immigration Bureau was located, and began to photograph immigrants aiming for the United States. He left school in 1907 and turned into a photographer. Since 1906, he has been a member of the Child Labor Commission and traveled throughout the United States to photograph the scenes of child labor, one of Hein's masterpieces. After that, we will document “Men at Work”, which shows people working in the factory, and the construction site of the Empire State Building. This book was published in conjunction with an exhibition held at the Carnavalet Museum in Paris in 1990. This is a retrospective content and includes the work of the Empire State Building from the early 1900s to the 30s. This is a book that summarizes the major works of photographers who represent social documentaries in the first half of the 20th century, recording terrible reality and asking society.
