Family Hulling Berries - A Glimpse into the Lives of Hardworking Mothers in 1910 Delaware
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, captured by Underwood Archives in May 1910, transports us back to a simpler time when families relied on their collective strength to make ends meet. Set against the rustic backdrop of Seaford, Delaware, this image showcases the resilience and resourcefulness of an American family. In this poignant scene, a mother tenderly nurses her infant while skillfully hulling berries. Her other children sit beside her, engrossed in their own berry-picking tasks. The youngest member of the family, little Mabel Cuthrie at only four years old, has already begun contributing to their livelihood since last year. The monochromatic tones lend an air of nostalgia as we witness a snapshot from history—a testament to both hard work and sacrifice. This photograph sheds light on the realities faced by families during that era—where child labor was not uncommon and mothers had no choice but to multitask between nurturing their young ones and providing for them. As we gaze upon this vintage treasure from North America's rural past, it serves as a reminder of the indomitable spirit that has shaped our society today. It is through such images that we gain insight into our ancestors' struggles and triumphs—honoring those who came before us while appreciating how far we have come in terms of progress and social welfare.
