EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Haunting Illustration of Child Labor in 1912 This poignant illustration, published in the American humor magazine Puck on April 10, 1912, under the title "Next!", offers a chilling commentary on the harsh realities of child labor during the early 20th century. The haunting image depicts a large ghoul labeled "Necessity," dressed in a dark shroud, leading a small, frightened child out of a dilapidated home. In the background, an unemployed parent is slumped over a table, seemingly defeated by the harsh economic conditions. The ghoul's ominous whip cracks in the air, urging the child forward as they leave behind the meager comforts of home. Outside the doorway, two other children are seen trudging toward a factory, their small faces etched with worry and exhaustion. The factory looms ominously in the distance, its ominous sign proclaiming "Machinery Operated by Children - Men Need Not Apply." The phrase "Next!" emblazoned across the top of the illustration serves as a stark reminder of the relentless cycle of poverty and exploitation that forced families to send their children to work in dangerous and often deadly conditions. The ghoul of necessity, with its insatiable demand for labor, looms large over the scene, leading the children into a future of hardship and struggle. This haunting illustration serves as a powerful reminder of the need for labor reforms and social welfare programs to protect the most vulnerable members of society. The image is a poignant reminder of the past, and a call to action for a better future for all. This illustration is from the Mary Evans Picture Library, and is not to be used for commercial purposes without proper clearance. The original publication date was April 10, 1912, in the American humor magazine Puck.
