1912 Baltimore Cannery Canning Child Labor Employee Employer Factory Foreman Hine Lewis Manufacture Poor Vegetable Wickes Working Class
CHILD LABOR, 1912 - A Glimpse into the Harsh Realities of Industrial America
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This powerful print captures a haunting scene from Baltimore, Maryland in 1912. In this image, we witness the harsh conditions faced by children working in a vegetable cannery. Oil has been delicately applied over the photograph, adding depth and intensity to their plight. The original photograph was taken by Lewis W. Hine, an American photographer known for his documentation of child labor during this era. The image serves as a stark reminder of the early struggles faced by many young boys and girls who were forced to work long hours under grueling circumstances. In this particular frame, we see both boys and girls diligently engaged in canning vegetables within the factory walls. Their faces reveal exhaustion beyond their years; they are employees subjected to arduous tasks at such tender ages. The presence of a foreman overseeing their work highlights the power dynamics at play – employers exploiting vulnerable children from poor working-class backgrounds for profit. This visual narrative sheds light on a dark chapter in American history when child labor was rampant across industrialized cities like Baltimore. Through this print titled "CHILD LABOR, 1912". Granger Art on Demand invites us to reflect upon our past while urging us to ensure that such exploitation is never repeated again.
