A Pause in Work by Lewis Hine

Dovilė from Lithuania sent me this postcard.

Lewis Hine (1874-1940) was an American photographer who used his camera as both a research tool and an instrument of social reform.  He traveled extensively to photograph child labor practices.

A Pause in Work is part of his 1930 work, The Empire State Building Photographs.

Taken in America, printed in Korea, sent from Lithuania

The postcard came with this stamp:

Lithuania issued this (and another) stamp for the 2008 Beijing Olympics
