EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia-toned photograph, titled "HINE: OYSTER SHUCKER, 1913" transports us back to the early 20th century in Bluffton, South Carolina. The image captures an unidentified adult oyster shucker standing proudly at the Varn & Platt Canning Co. , a renowned cannery in the region. Taken by Lewis Hine in February of that year, this portrait showcases the resilience and dedication of workers during a time when manual labor was essential for survival. The oyster shucker is adorned with an apron, showcasing her commitment to her craft as she stands amidst a marine backdrop. The photo's composition draws attention to the woman's hands covered in mud and shells—a testament to her expertise and skillful technique as she delicately picks through each oyster. Her determined expression speaks volumes about the hard work and long hours these individuals endured. Lewis Hine's masterful photography allows us to glimpse into this forgotten era of American history, shedding light on industries that played vital roles in local economies. This particular print from The Granger Collection serves as a poignant reminder of the unsung heroes who labored tirelessly behind-the-scenes.
