EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures the harsh reality of child labor in early 20th century America. Taken by Lewis Hine in June 1910, it depicts young workers at Ross Cannery in Seaford, Delaware. The sepia-toned image showcases the interior of the cannery, where children toil away amidst machinery and crates. In this haunting scene, both boys and girls can be seen engaged in backbreaking work. Their youthful faces reveal a mixture of determination and exhaustion as they navigate their way through the demanding tasks assigned to them. These children are part of the working class, forced into labor at a tender age due to poverty and societal circumstances. Hine's photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the turn-of-the-century struggles faced by many North American adolescents. It sheds light on an industry that relied heavily on cheap child labor to maximize profits. By capturing these young workers' plight with empathy and compassion, Hine aimed to expose the injustices inherent within society. The Granger Collection presents this print not for commercial use but rather as a historical document that reflects upon our collective past. It is an invitation for viewers to confront uncomfortable truths about our shared history while acknowledging progress made towards eradicating such exploitative practices today.
