Card Game, 1916 - A Glimpse into the Lives of Portuguese-American Mill Workers
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a moment frozen in time - a group of young Portuguese-American mill workers from Fall River, Massachusetts engaging in an intense card game after a long day's work. Taken by the renowned photographer Lewis Hine in 1916, this image offers us a rare glimpse into the lives of working-class individuals during this era. Seated around a worn wooden table in what appears to be an interior room of the textile mill, these men are engrossed in their game. The dimly lit space is filled with cigarette smoke as they skillfully handle their cards, displaying both concentration and camaraderie. Their youthful faces reveal traces of exhaustion but also hints of joy and escape from the monotony of factory life. The significance lies not only in their shared pastime but also in their cultural heritage. These young workers proudly represent the vibrant Portuguese community that played an integral role within Fall River's industrial landscape at that time. Lewis Hine masterfully captures this scene, immortalizing these hardworking individuals who formed part of America's diverse melting pot. Through his lens, we witness moments like these that often go unnoticed or forgotten amidst history books' grand narratives. This print serves as a powerful reminder to appreciate those whose labor built our nation while shedding light on the simple pleasures sought by those who worked tirelessly for better opportunities. It stands as testament to resilience, unity
