MIGRANT FAMILY, 1911 - A Glimpse into the Lives of Hardworking Berry Pickers
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph, taken by Lewis Hine in September 1911, transports us back to a time when migrant families were an integral part of America's agricultural landscape. The image showcases a resilient African American family toiling away on a cranberry farm in Swifts Bog, Massachusetts. In this snapshot of daily life, we witness the tireless efforts of both parents and children as they diligently pick berries under the open sky. The father stands tall amidst the cranberry field, his weathered face reflecting years of hard work and determination. Beside him stands his wife, her bonnet shielding her from the sun's rays as she skillfully fills her pail with ripe fruits. Their young daughter is not far behind; carrying her own small pail filled with harvested treasures. Despite their challenging circumstances and limited resources, this close-knit family remains united in their pursuit for survival. Lewis Hine masterfully captures the essence of rural poverty while shedding light on child labor prevalent during that era. This poignant sepia-toned print serves as a reminder that many families relied on such arduous work to make ends meet. As we gaze upon this historical artifact frozen in time, let us acknowledge the resilience and strength exhibited by these migrant workers who played an essential role in shaping America's agricultural heritage.
