EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back to the bustling streets of Fells Point, Baltimore in 1910. The image captures a moment frozen in time, as horse-drawn carriages line the street, patiently awaiting their passengers. These carriages were not meant for leisurely rides or social events; instead, they served a vital purpose in transporting workers to the berry farms located in the surrounding countryside. Taken by renowned photographer Lewis Hine in May 1910, this snapshot offers a glimpse into an era when agriculture played a significant role in American society. The sepia-toned print showcases the early morning scene with remarkable clarity and detail. It portrays a working-class neighborhood awakening to another day of laborious tasks. The composition highlights both architectural beauty and human activity. Rows of charming buildings stand tall on either side of the street while people gather near the waiting carriages. Migrant workers from all walks of life congregate here before embarking on their journey to harvest berries at nearby farms. This photograph serves as a reminder of how different life was during this turn-of-the-century period – where horses still ruled transportation and manual labor was prevalent. It is an invaluable historical document that allows us to reflect upon our past and appreciate how far we have come since then. Granger Art on Demand has preserved this piece from its collection, offering viewers an opportunity to step back into history and immerse themselves in Baltimore's vibrant past through this evocative image captured by Lewis Hine over a century ago
