EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph, taken by Lewis Wickes Hine in 1910, captures a corner of a humble shack used by pickers on Theodore Budds Bog in Turkeytown, near Pemberton, New Jersey. The image is part of Hine's extensive documentation for the National Child Labor Committee, shedding light on the harsh working conditions and exploitation faced by children across various industries during that era. Hine's lens transports us to an America marked by poverty and struggle. In this particular scene, we witness an itinerant migrant worker family residing within the confines of this wooden hut. The worn timber walls tell tales of countless seasons spent harvesting fruits under grueling circumstances. The simplicity and bareness of their living space reflect the dire circumstances these individuals endured daily. It serves as a stark reminder of the hardships faced by those trapped in cycles of poverty. Through his photography, Hine aimed to raise awareness about child labor and advocate for change. This powerful image encapsulates not only the physical environment but also carries with it stories untold – stories that demand our attention even today. As we gaze upon this historic print from Hine's collection held in a private archive, let us remember those who fought tirelessly to improve working conditions for future generations. May their legacy inspire us to continue striving for justice and equality in all aspects of society.
