EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1910 by Lewis Hine, transports us back to a time when the struggles of migrant workers were etched into every line on their faces. The image showcases a mother and her children diligently hulling strawberries at Johnsons Hulling Station in Seaford, Delaware. In this snapshot of early 20th-century America, we witness the harsh reality faced by these hardworking individuals. The sepia-toned portrait captures the essence of poverty and rural life during that era. The worn-out bonnet adorning the mother's head speaks volumes about her daily struggle to provide for her family. Her barefoot children huddle around her as they work tirelessly to earn two cents per quart of strawberries. In this scene, we see both young boys and girls engaged in labor at an age where carefree play should have been their only concern. Their faces reveal a mixture of determination and weariness beyond their years. Lewis Hine's lens not only documents the plight of these migrant workers but also sheds light on child labor practices prevalent during that time period. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by working-class families striving for survival amidst economic hardships. As we gaze upon this poignant photograph from Granger Art on Demand's collection, it is impossible not to feel empathy for those who labored under such difficult circumstances. It stands as a testament to resilience while urging us never to forget the sacrifices made by generations past in building our present society.
