This sepia-toned historical photograph depicts a group of approximately twenty young men and boys, possibly workers or laborers, standing in front of what appears to be an industrial building. They are dressed in work attire, including hats, jackets, trousers, and sturdy footwear typical for manual labor during the early 20th century. Some individuals wear sunglasses, while others have their hands in pockets or folded at their sides. The setting is outdoors with a clear sky above; behind them stand several multi-story buildings suggesting an urban environment. The group seems organized as they pose for the camera, some standing closer to the front and others slightly back, creating a tiered effect that showcases more individuals within each row. Their ages range from what looks like young adolescents in their teens or twenties up through older men who may be late forties or fifties. Their expressions are mostly neutral with faint smiles, conveying a sense of camaraderie among the group members. This photograph carries historical significance as part of Lewis Hine's work documenting labor conditions during that era, specifically at Goodall Worsted Co., Sanford, Maine. It is titled "Noon hour" and reflects on workers' breaks or gatherings during their employment in such industries.
