EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time during the Great Depression era in Berwyn, Maryland. Taken by renowned photographer Carl Mydans in February 1936, it showcases an early form of worker monitoring - a time checker recording workers' hours. In this image, we see a group of hardworking men gathered outside an industrial building in rural Maryland's northeast region. They wear their work attire with pride, donning fedora hats and smoking pipes as they await their turn to have their hours recorded. The worn-out exterior of the building serves as a backdrop for this poignant scene. The photograph is part of the iconic Farm Security Administration (FSA) collection that documented American life during one of its most challenging periods. It reflects the impact of President Roosevelt's New Deal policies on everyday workers striving to make ends meet amidst economic turmoil. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back to a different time - when manual labor was essential for survival and every hour worked mattered greatly. It reminds us of our collective history and serves as a reminder that progress comes from resilience and determination even in the face of adversity.
