EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Lewis Hine in September 1910, transports us back to a time when the labor of young migrant workers was an integral part of American farming. The image showcases a group of determined adolescents carrying their pecks of cranberries to be weighed by the bushel man at Theodore Budds Bog in Turkeytown near Pemberton, New Jersey. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the hardships faced by these children as they navigate through the bog with crates filled with precious berries. Their faces reveal both resilience and weariness, highlighting the toll that farm work took on these young souls. Dressed in bonnets and rugged clothing, they embody the essence of early 20th-century rural America. Lewis Hine's lens captures not only their physical labor but also hints at their impoverished circumstances. These children were forced into arduous work due to poverty and lack of opportunities. This poignant image serves as a stark reminder of child labor practices that prevailed during this era. As we gaze upon this sepia-toned print from The Granger Collection, it is essential to acknowledge the contributions made by migrant workers like these brave youngsters who played an instrumental role in shaping our agricultural landscape. Their dedication and sacrifice should never be forgotten as we reflect upon our nation's history and progress towards fairer working conditions for all individuals involved in farming industries today.
