EDITORS COMMENTS
Home Work: A Glimpse into the Lives of the Gibbons Family in Roxbury, Massachusetts, 1912 This poignant photograph captures the home environment of the Gibbons family at 268 Centre Street in Roxbury, Massachusetts, where children James (11) and Helen (9) are seen diligently working on tags late into the night. Their younger sister, Mary (6), also participates in the family's home-based industry, but her productivity is less than her siblings, managing only 1,000 tags a day. Helen, an impressive and skilled worker, boasts an impressive output of 5,000 tags daily at a rate of 30 cents per thousand. The family's reliance on home work was common during this era, particularly in working-class neighborhoods like Roxbury. The Gibbons family, like many others, worked late into the night to meet production deadlines and earn a living. The photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of these children, who, despite their young ages, were integral contributors to their family's income. The night before this image was taken, Helen and James worked until 11:00 PM, showcasing the long hours and dedication required for their home-based work. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the economic realities faced by families during this time period and the ways in which children were often called upon to contribute to the family income.
