We know very little about Hine's family. His son Corydon donated his father's portaits after Hine died (1940). The phoyographs at first were accepted by the Photo League which closed a few years later (1951). The Museum of Modern Art in New York was offered his pictures but did not accept them. Tthe George Eastman House in Rochester, New York eventually did. At the time there was not an appreciation for their historical value. Many photographs were left in the hands of the related Rich family which wound in the Walter and Dorrietta Rich estate. The parents of Walter G Rich. Walter jr. was the great nephew of Lewis. His father, Walter Rich Sr. was photographed by Hine in family type phoographs.
