EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in history, showcasing the housing provided for approximately 50 employees of Maggioni Canning Co. in Port Royal, South Carolina, back in 1912. The image portrays a scene surrounded by marshland and situated on an old shell pile, highlighting the challenging living conditions these workers endured. Taken by Lewis Wickes Hine, an investigative photographer for the National Child Labor Committee during his documentation from 1908 to 1912, this photograph sheds light on the exploitation and harsh working conditions faced by children across various industries at that time. In this particular image, we see a cluster of wooden huts or shacks where these employees resided. The dilapidated structures stand as a testament to poverty and limited resources available to them. It is evident that these humble dwellings were far from ideal living spaces. While not mentioning the company itself or any commercial use associated with it, this powerful photograph serves as a reminder of the need for reform within industrial sectors during that era. It also offers insight into the canning industry specifically while emphasizing its connection to seafood such as oysters. Preserved within a private collection today but out of copyright due to its age, this historic snapshot continues to resonate with viewers around the world who recognize its significance in documenting social injustices and advocating for change.
