EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1910 by Lewis Wickes Hine, transports us back to a time when young Italian immigrant boys were employed as fruit sellers in Florida. The image captures the innocence and resilience of these boys who found themselves far from their homeland, working diligently to make a living. In this snapshot of history, we witness the determination etched on their faces as they navigate through the bustling streets with baskets full of fresh fruits. Their small frames are adorned with oversized hats and suspenders, symbolizing both their youthfulness and responsibility beyond their years. Hine's lens not only documents the lives of these young immigrants but also sheds light on an era marked by child labor. This poignant image serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by immigrant communities during that time period. Beyond its historical significance, this photograph offers glimpses into botany, natural history, science, and food culture. It invites us to reflect upon how these young boys played a vital role in bringing nourishment to people's tables while simultaneously grappling with the hardships associated with being away from home at such tender ages. As we gaze upon this vintage print captured over a century ago, let us honor the stories it tells - tales of resilience amidst adversity and dreams carried across oceans by those seeking better opportunities for themselves and future generations.
