EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "SUGAR BEET WORKERS, 1915" takes us back in time to a significant moment in American history. In the frame, we witness two child siblings diligently working on their family sugar beet farm in Sugar City, Colorado. The photograph was captured by Lewis Hine in July 1915. The image portrays the harsh reality of child labor during that era. A young boy wearing a worn-out bonnet stands beside his sister, both immersed in their responsibilities as they contribute to the farming industry. Their faces reflect determination and resilience beyond their tender years. Lewis Hine's lens captures not only the innocence lost but also sheds light on the economic struggles faced by many families at that time. This sepia-toned snapshot serves as a reminder of the hardships endured by those belonging to the working class. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported to an early summer day amidst vast fields where these children labored tirelessly under challenging conditions. It is through such poignant images that we gain insight into our past and appreciate how far society has come since then. This print from Granger Art on Demand allows us to honor those who came before us while acknowledging their sacrifices and contributions towards building a better future for generations to come.
