EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Migrant Family, 1911" captures a poignant moment in American history. The image showcases a family of migrant berry pickers embarking on their daily journey to work at Swifts Bog in Massachusetts. Taken by renowned photographer Lewis Hine in September 1911, the picture offers a glimpse into the harsh realities faced by working-class families during this era. In the foreground, we see a worn-out baby carriage carrying an adorable infant nestled inside a bassinet. The young child symbolizes hope amidst adversity as they accompany their parents on this arduous journey. The mother and father stand beside the carriage with determined expressions etched across their faces - resilient figures who strive to provide for their loved ones despite challenging circumstances. The backdrop reveals vast fields stretching into the distance, where countless berries await harvesting. This rural setting serves as both workplace and home for these migrants, highlighting the intermingling of labor and domestic life that defined many working-class families during this period. Lewis Hine's masterful composition not only captures the physical presence of each family member but also conveys a sense of unity and strength within this tight-knit group. Through his lens, he immortalizes an important chapter in American history - one marked by poverty, resilience, and determination among migrant workers striving for better lives. This powerful photograph serves as a reminder of our collective past while urging us to reflect upon issues surrounding labor rights and social inequality that persist today.
