EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time when young girls were hard at work on a rooftop vegetable garden, with the iconic Manhattan Bridge visible in the background. Taken in New York City in 1910 by the Byron Company, this silver gelatin print measures 19.2x25.4 cm and is currently housed at the Museum of the City of New York. The image showcases a group of uniformed schoolgirls diligently tending to their plot, showcasing their dedication to agricultural work even within an urban environment. With bonnets adorning their heads, these young farmers can be seen weeding and planting with utmost care and precision. It is believed that this photograph was taken at a public school, where children were taught valuable skills about farming and self-sustainability. The sight of these determined girls working together on their allotment serves as a testament to the importance placed on practical education during this era. This snapshot from history not only highlights the significance of agriculture but also sheds light on gender roles at that time. These young girls defied societal expectations by engaging in laborious tasks traditionally associated with men. Through this powerful image, we are reminded of how individuals have always found innovative ways to cultivate nature's bounty even amidst bustling cityscapes like New York City's skyline.
