EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment two young boys, aged 14 and 15, link bed springs in a cramped Boston, Massachusetts workshop on January 25, 1917. The boys, dressed in threadbare clothing, focus intently on their manual labor as they connect the springs, a crucial step in the production of mattresses during a time when poverty was rampant in the United States. The scene offers a poignant glimpse into the harsh realities of childhood labor during this era. The boys' determination and concentration are palpable, as they work tirelessly to contribute to the family income. This photograph, taken in Boston, Massachusetts, serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of children during a time of economic hardship in America's history.
