EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken in February 1911, we see the Elvis family of New Orleans, Louisiana, gathered in their humble home in Biloxi, Mississippi. The scene is filled with a sense of industry and determination as all members of the family, except for the youngest boy, Jo, who is seven years old, and the three-year-old Alma by the door, are engaged in their daily work. The family is part of the Barataria Canning Company, and the adults are likely preparing or processing the produce that will be canned and shipped out to markets across the country. Jo, the second eldest child, works on Saturdays, while Alma, the youngest, is already learning the family trade from her mother. The door to their home serves as a backdrop to this heartwarming image, providing a glimpse into the simple yet hardworking life of this family. The photograph captures the essence of the early 20th century American working class, where every member of the family had a role to play in ensuring their survival and success. The location of this photograph is Biloxi, Mississippi, a place that was known for its thriving canning industry at the time. The Elvis family's story is a testament to the resilience and dedication of the working class during this era, as they worked tirelessly to provide for their families and contribute to the economy. This poignant image offers a glimpse into a bygone era, reminding us of the importance of hard work, family, and the pursuit of a better life.
