EDITORS COMMENTS
The photograph titled "Mary Christmas, only 3, made to pick cranberries spilt at the barrels by her grandfather" captures a poignant moment in history. Taken in Weeks Bog, Falmouth, Massachusetts in 1911 by Lewis Wickes Hine, this image tells a story of the harsh realities faced by children during that time. Hine was an investigative photographer for the National Child Labor Committee and dedicated his work to exposing the exploitation of children across various industries. In this particular photo, we see young Mary Christmas laboring alongside her grandfather as they gather cranberries spilled from barrels. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the difficult conditions many children endured during this era. It highlights not only child labor but also poverty and economic struggles faced by families involved in farming and agriculture. Mary's innocent presence amidst such arduous work evokes both sympathy and admiration. Her small figure against the backdrop of vast cranberry fields symbolizes resilience and determination despite her tender age. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it is important to reflect on how far society has come in terms of protecting our youngest members. This image stands as a testament to those who fought for reform and social change throughout history.
