EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Lewis Hine in May 1910, transports us back to a time when the struggles of migrant workers were etched into their weary faces. The image captures families huddled together at Johnsons Hulling Station in Seaford, Delaware, as they painstakingly hull berries for a mere two cents per quart. In this poignant snapshot of early 20th-century America, we witness the harsh reality faced by these hardworking individuals. The sepia tones lend an air of nostalgia to the scene, emphasizing the poverty that permeated rural communities during this era. Seated on wooden crates or makeshift stools, men and women alike engage in laborious work while their children observe nearby. A young boy can be seen diligently assisting his family with berry hulling - a stark reminder of child labor prevalent at that time. The photograph not only documents daily life but also serves as a powerful testament to the resilience and determination exhibited by these migrant workers. Despite their meager circumstances and arduous tasks, they persevere with unwavering strength. Lewis Hine's lens offers us a glimpse into an often-overlooked segment of society: those who toiled tirelessly in farms across North America. This print from Granger Art on Demand is more than just an image; it is a window into history that compels us to reflect upon the hardships endured by working-class families during turn-of-the-century America.
