STRAWBERRY PICKERS, 1916 - A Glimpse into the Lives of Young Workers
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "STRAWBERRY PICKERS, 1916" offers a poignant snapshot of a group of strawberry pickers on Clagett and Covington farm in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Taken by renowned photographer Lewis Hine in May 1916, this image sheds light on an important chapter in American history - child labor. In sepia tones that evoke a sense of nostalgia, the photograph captures the faces and stories of these young workers. Among them are adolescent boys and girls who stand alongside men and women, all united by their shared task - harvesting strawberries. The crates surrounding them serve as a reminder of their toil and dedication. Hine's lens not only documents their physical presence but also reveals the harsh reality they faced - poverty. These children were part of a migrant workforce that traveled throughout the Southeast region to find work on farms like Clagett and Covington's. As we gaze upon this powerful portrait today, it serves as a testament to resilience amidst adversity. It prompts us to reflect on how far we have come in protecting our youth from exploitative labor practices while reminding us that there is still work to be done. Through this print from Granger Art on Demand, we are given an opportunity to honor these young workers' contributions while acknowledging the progress made towards ensuring fair treatment for all children.
