EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in history, showcasing the harsh reality of child labor in early 20th century America. Annette Roy, only seven years old, and Napoleon Ruel, aged nine, are depicted here as they toil away picking cranberries at Smarts Bog in South Carver, Massachusetts in 1911. Taken by Lewis Wickes Hine, an investigative photographer for the National Child Labor Committee during his four-year documentation period from 1908 to 1912, this image serves as a powerful reminder of the exploitation faced by children across various industries. Hine's work aimed to shed light on the working conditions endured by these young individuals. In this particular photograph, we witness two innocent faces amidst their grueling labor. Their presence evokes both sympathy and outrage towards a system that allowed such injustice to prevail. The image not only highlights the plight of child workers but also draws attention to issues surrounding poverty and agricultural practices during that era. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes clear that Annette and Napoleon were denied their childhoods due to economic circumstances beyond their control. This photograph stands as a testament to Lewis Hine's dedication towards social reform while serving as a stark reminder of our collective responsibility to protect vulnerable members of society from exploitation.
