EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history when Italian immigrants from Naples were making a living as shoe shiners on the streets of Marseille in 1909. The image shows a group of Neapolitan shoe shiners hard at work, polishing shoes with precision and care.
The scene is bustling with activity as passersby walk along the sidewalk, oblivious to the child labor that was prevalent during this time. The children, with their faces smudged with dirt and determination, reflect the harsh reality of immigrant life in early 20th century France.
The postcard serves as a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by immigrants seeking better opportunities in foreign lands. It sheds light on the exploitation of children for economic gain and highlights the challenges faced by those who left their homeland in search of a better future.
Through this powerful image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the hardships endured by Italian immigrants trying to make ends meet through menial labor. It is a testament to resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity, capturing a moment frozen in time that continues to resonate today.
