Business Child Labour Strawberries Punnets

EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1885 depicts a small girl diligently making punnets for strawberries, which was the family business. In this poignant illustration, we see the young child immersed in her task, showcasing the reality of child labor during the late nineteenth century. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia and historical significance, transporting us back to a time when children were often expected to contribute to their family's livelihood from a very young age. Despite her tender age, the girl is shown taking on responsibilities that would be considered far beyond her years by today's standards. Through this engraving, we are reminded of the hardships faced by working-class families in an era where manual labor was essential for survival. The intricate details captured by the artist highlight not only the girl's dedication to her work but also serve as a testament to the resilience and strength exhibited by individuals forced into such circumstances. As we reflect on this powerful image, let us remember those who labored tirelessly in pursuit of providing for their loved ones and acknowledge the sacrifices made by generations past. This illustration serves as a poignant reminder of our shared history and underscores the importance of cherishing our progress towards creating more equitable societies for all.
