MIGRANT WORKERS, 1910 - A Glimpse into the Lives of Italian Berry Pickers
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph, taken in May 1910 by Lewis Hine, transports us back to a significant era in American history. The image showcases a group of Italian berry pickers from Philadelphia who have found themselves on Giles Farm at Seaford, Delaware. Their faces tell stories of hardship and resilience as they stand together against the backdrop of rural America. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the harsh realities faced by migrant workers during the early 20th century. These men, women, and children were part of a wave of immigrants seeking better opportunities in North America. Clad in worn-out overalls and simple dresses, their attire reflects their working-class status. The young boy with his cap tilted slightly to one side catches our attention as he nonchalantly holds a cigarette between his fingers – an unsettling reminder that child labor was prevalent during this period. Despite their struggles and poverty-stricken lives, these individuals display strength through unity. Lewis Hine's sepia-toned portrait captures not only the physical toll that farm work took on these migrants but also reveals glimpses of determination etched across their faces. It serves as a poignant reminder that behind every laborer lies an untold story waiting to be heard. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from Granger Art on Demand's collection, let us remember those who paved the way for future generations
