EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "BERRY PICKER SHACKS, c1909" takes us back in time to the early 20th century in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. The interior of a crowded shack occupied by hardworking berry pickers is beautifully captured by Lewis Hine, an American photographer known for his poignant documentation of daily life during that era. In this image, we witness the harsh reality faced by migrant workers and the working class at the turn of the century. The room is filled with worn-out bedding and clothing, depicting a scene of poverty and struggle. Sepia tones add a nostalgic touch to this glimpse into history. The Berry Picker Shacks serve as both home and workplace for these individuals who toil on farms day after day. Despite their challenging circumstances, there is an undeniable sense of resilience among them. This photograph serves as a reminder of the hardships endured by those striving for survival amidst limited resources. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, it prompts us to reflect on our own privileges and appreciate how far society has come since then. Through Lewis Hine's lens, we are transported into an intimate space that tells a story beyond words - one that speaks volumes about human perseverance in the face of adversity.
