LEWIS W. HINE (1874-1940)
First Aid to the Injured. Silver print, the image measuring 4 5/8x6 3/4 inches (10.2x15.2 cm.), the sheet slightly larger, with the date and inventory notations in pencil on verso. 1933

Hine's description from the Library of Congress reads: "First Aid to the Injured" represents a man equipped with a Draeger Oxygen Helmet. Avondale Shaft, D.L.W. Colliery. The need for and the presence of these rescue outfits is a strong argument against the employment of young boys. Location: [Pennsylvania]"
