Many tiny workers here, some of whom began to arrive as early as 5 O’clock, and [sic] hour before they were allowed to begin work, and long before daylight on a damp, foggy day. The whistle had blown and they came and stood around merely to hold their places. When the ‘catch’ has been good they begin work early, but today it was not good so they were waiting for daylight. In this group I ascertained the ages of a few, as follows, 1 child of 6 years, 1 of 7, 2 of 8, 1 of 10, and there were many othersIdentifierAKG1769395CollectionUniversal Images GroupCredit lineakg-images / Universal Images Group / Universal History ArchiveTopicCHILDCHILD LABOR ; CHILD LABOUROYSTERSHRIMP ; PRAWNSize4205px × 2964px (35 MB) 35.6 cm × 25.0 cm @ 300 dpiRestrictionsFor editorial use onlyAdd to lightbox: 'My First Lightbox'Add to cartDownload
