EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us to Rock Creek near Baltimore, Maryland in 1909. In this poignant image, we see a six-year-old Polish girl diligently picking berries alongside her family (the Scholtz) all day long. The innocence radiating from her young face is juxtaposed against the harsh reality of child labor that prevailed during those times. Lewis Wickes Hine, an investigative photographer for the National Child Labor Committee, embarked on a mission to expose the exploitation and working conditions endured by children across various industries. This particular snapshot serves as a testament to his powerful documentation between 1908 and 1912. The photograph not only sheds light on the plight of child laborers but also offers insights into themes such as migration, poverty, and immigration. It portrays an itinerant family seeking seasonal work in agriculture while grappling with their own hardships. As we gaze upon this evocative image, we are reminded of the resilience displayed by these immigrant families who sought better lives amidst challenging circumstances. The girl's determination echoes through time as she contributes to her family's harvest while embodying both strength and vulnerability simultaneously. Through Hine's lens, we are transported back in time to witness history unfolding before our eyes—a reminder that progress comes at a cost and that every story deserves to be told.
