The children he photographed were under 10, more like 5 or 7. And he also took pictures of labor practices in general for adults.

Are you familiar with the Lewis Hine Project? A researcher tried to track down the children Hines had photographed to learn about their later lives. https://morningsonmaplestreet.com/
