EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures the harsh reality of child labor in early 20th century America. Taken by Lewis Hine in March 1911, it depicts a group of young shrimp pickers working at the Peerless Oyster Co. in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. The image reveals a scene during the short noon recess, where these children are seen standing around a table covered with shells and seafood remnants. Their faces show signs of exhaustion and hardship as they toil away in dirty clothes, representing the working class struggles that were prevalent during this era. Hine's photography was instrumental in exposing the plight of child laborers across various industries throughout the United States. Through his lens, he aimed to shed light on their difficult lives and advocate for change. In this particular print from The Granger Collection, sepia tones add an additional layer of nostalgia and gravity to the image. It serves as a poignant reminder of how far society has come since then but also highlights ongoing issues surrounding workers' rights today. This photograph is not just a historical artifact; it is a testament to resilience and an urgent call for social justice.
