Lewis Hine in Maryland
Albin O. Kuhn Library GalleryThe Albin O. Kuhn Library Gallery presents Lewis Hine in Maryland, on display from August 24 through December 18.

His images appeared in pamphlets, posters, traveling exhibitions, and lantern-slide presentations across the country. Ultimately, these searing photographs helped shape labor legislation in the United States and established a model for documentary photography.
