EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the harsh reality of life for cranberry pickers in Forsythes Bog, Turkeytown, near Pemberton, New Jersey in 1910. Taken by Lewis Wickes Hine, an investigative photographer for the National Child Labor Committee, this image exposes the working conditions and exploitation faced by children during that era. In this poignant scene, we see a De Marco shack serving as home to a family of ten cranberry pickers. Measuring only 10x11 feet with a height of 5 1/2 feet, this cramped space is their sole refuge from the unforgiving world outside. Above them lies a gable attic while nearby stands a smelly latrine—a stark reminder of their impoverished circumstances. Hine's photograph sheds light on the plight of migrant workers who traveled from place to place in search of seasonal work. The wooden shack's interior reveals an unadorned bed where exhaustion meets respite after long days spent harvesting fruit under grueling conditions. This powerful image serves as both documentation and indictment—an enduring testament to the poverty-stricken lives endured by countless families during this time period. It reminds us not only of our past but also prompts reflection on how far we have come in terms of labor rights and social progress.
