Frost Art Museum Visit FIU


“Little Spinner in Mill" this photo depicts a little girl standing in between the spinning cotton machine. This photograph illustrates the aspects of labor including the working conditions and slum housing. Child labor has striped the little girl of her natural childish gifts and enthusiasm by turning them in working children instead of being in school to receiving an education. The composition of the photograph suggests that she must tend to the two rows of the cotton spinning machines and the labor is tiring her out to the point of exhaustion. Based on her attire and facial expression she is exhausted, in pain and anguish due to the harsh job conditions in the cotton mill. The cotton mills lacked air conditioning, proper hygiene, laborious shift hours of standing on her feet with uncomfortable shoes, and tight spaces to enter from.
