EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1909 by Lewis Hine, transports us to a time when the American landscape was shaped by the hard work of migrant workers. In this particular image titled "Migrant Workers, 1909" we witness a Polish girl and her mother diligently picking berries on Bottomley Farm in Rock Creek, near Baltimore, Maryland. The picture captures the essence of their daily life as they toil under the summer sun. The young girl stands beside her mother, dressed modestly in simple attire that reflects their working-class background. Their faces reveal determination mixed with weariness from long hours spent harvesting nature's bounty. Hine's lens not only documents their physical labor but also sheds light on the harsh realities faced by these migrant workers. Poverty looms over them as they navigate through rural landscapes seeking employment opportunities during this turn of the century era. As we gaze at this poignant snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of our shared history and the sacrifices made by those who came before us. It prompts reflection on how far society has come since then while acknowledging that there is still progress to be made regarding fair treatment and support for all members of our communities. This print from Granger Art on Demand encapsulates an important chapter in American history - one that honors both resilience and struggle - inviting viewers to contemplate the lives lived by those who built our nation brick-by-brick through sweat and perseverance.
