EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures the harsh reality of child labor in America during the early 20th century. Taken by Lewis Hine in 1910, it depicts eight-year-old Jennie Camillo working diligently during the cranberry harvest at Theodore Budds Bogg near Pemberton, New Jersey. In this haunting image, Jennie stands amidst a vast cranberry field, dressed in worn-out clothes that reflect her impoverished background. Her young face bears a solemn expression as she fulfills her duties as a picker, highlighting the burden placed upon children like her at such an early age. Hine's lens not only exposes the physical toll of hard labor on Jennie but also sheds light on the larger issue of child exploitation prevalent during this time. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by working-class families and their children who were forced into backbreaking work to make ends meet. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are confronted with both admiration for Jennie's resilience and outrage at a system that allowed such injustices to persist. It is through photographs like these that we are compelled to confront our past and strive for a better future where every child can enjoy their right to education and play without being robbed of their innocence by exploitative labor practices.
