EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph, taken by Lewis Wickes Hine in 1910, captures the harsh reality of the De Marco family's living conditions as cranberry pickers at Forsythes Bog in Turkeytown, near Pemberton, New Jersey. The image showcases a small wooden shack that serves as their home - a cramped space measuring only 10x11 feet and standing just 5 1/2 feet high. With ten family members residing within these confining walls, it is a stark reminder of the challenges faced by migrant workers during this era. Hine's role as an investigative photographer for the National Child Labor Committee becomes evident through this powerful snapshot. His mission was to shed light on the exploitation and working conditions endured by children across various industries. In this particular case, we witness firsthand how poverty-stricken families were forced to endure squalid living arrangements while laboring tirelessly to make ends meet. The photograph also offers insight into the seasonal nature of agricultural work during that time period. As cranberry pickers, the De Marco family would have migrated from place to place in search of employment opportunities throughout different harvest seasons. Ultimately, Hine's work serves as a historical testament to both individual struggles and societal issues surrounding child labor and poverty in early twentieth-century America.
