EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the summer of 1909, this poignant print titled 'Child Labor' transports us to a bygone era where innocence was overshadowed by harsh realities. Here, we witness a nine-year-old berry picker on Rock Creek farm near Baltimore, Maryland. The lens of Lewis Hine, an American photographer known for his documentation of social issues, immortalizes the face of Laura—a young girl thrust into the grueling world of labor at such a tender age. In this early 20th-century snapshot, Laura stands amidst the vast expanse of an exterior field—a symbol of her rural surroundings and arduous working conditions. As she clutches her basket filled with berries harvested through backbreaking effort, one cannot help but feel both admiration for her resilience and sorrow for her stolen childhood. This image serves as a stark reminder of the plight faced by countless children during that time—migrant workers forced into manual labor due to poverty and societal circumstances. It sheds light on the struggles endured by those belonging to the working class who were often left with no choice but to sacrifice their youth for survival. As we gaze upon this historic photograph today, let it serve as a testament to our progress in eradicating child labor while also reminding us that there is still work to be done in ensuring every child's right to education and protection from exploitation.
