EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a heartbreaking scene from the year 1909, shedding light on the harsh reality of child labor in America. The image features young Johnnie Yellow, a Polish migrant worker at the tender age of 10, toiling away as he picks berries on Bottomley Farm near Baltimore, Maryland. Photographed by Lewis Hine in July 1909, this powerful snapshot provides a glimpse into the daily life of impoverished families during that era. With an exterior backdrop showcasing rural Rock Creek, we witness Johnnie amidst a group of fellow workers engaged in harvesting under the scorching sun. The portrait reveals not only the innocence lost due to early labor but also highlights the struggles faced by working-class individuals striving for survival. The presence of both men and women signifies how entire families were forced into labor to make ends meet. As we observe this poignant moment frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of our collective responsibility to protect children's rights and eradicate exploitative practices such as child labor. This photograph stands as evidence that progress has been made over time but also reminds us that there is still work to be done in ensuring every child receives their rightful childhood free from exploitation.
