EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Lewis Hine in August 1912, transports us back to the early 20th century in Sommerville, Massachusetts. In this intimate glimpse into Annie Fedele's tenement home, we witness her diligently working on crochet while seated at a worn wooden table in the kitchen. The sepia tones add an air of nostalgia and authenticity to the scene. Annie Fedele's barefootedness hints at the modesty of her circumstances as she immerses herself in piecework. Her young daughter sits nearby, observing her mother's industriousness with admiration and perhaps even a sense of responsibility beyond her tender years. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the prevalence of child labor during that era. The cramped interior reflects the harsh reality faced by many working-class families struggling with poverty. A clothesline stretches across one corner, showcasing their meager belongings hanging for all to see. Yet amidst these challenging conditions, Annie remains focused on her craft—a testament to resilience and determination. Lewis Hine masterfully captures both the beauty and hardship inherent within this domestic setting. His lens offers us a window into an America long gone but not forgotten—an America where home industries were vital sources of income for countless families like Annie Fedele's. Granger Art on Demand presents this evocative print from their collection without any commercial intentions—allowing us to appreciate its historical significance through our own personal interpretation.
