CHILD LABOR, c1910 - A Glimpse into the Harsh Realities of Early 20th Century America
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant photograph captures a haunting scene from the turn of the century. In this image, child berry pickers are seen huddled together in a wagon that belongs to the Maryland Biscuit Company. The young workers, their faces etched with exhaustion and determination beyond their years, were part of a system that exploited children for cheap labor. Taken on an unknown street in North America during summertime, this snapshot offers a glimpse into an era when child labor was alarmingly prevalent. These children were forced to endure long hours under grueling conditions as they harvested berries for commercial purposes. The horsedrawn wagon serves as both transportation and shelter for these weary souls who had no choice but to contribute to their family's income at such tender ages. While other children may have been enjoying carefree summers filled with play and laughter, these youngsters bore heavy responsibilities on their small shoulders. This photograph is not just a historical artifact; it is a stark reminder of the hardships faced by countless children during this dark chapter in American history. It serves as an important testament to the progress made since then in eradicating child labor practices and ensuring that every child has access to education and opportunities for growth.
