Fish Peddlers
🧺 Fish Peddlers in Boston, 1909
📍 North America » United States » Massachusetts » Suffolk » City of Boston » Boston
📸 Photographer: Lewis Hine
A poignant glimpse into early 20th-century Boston: young and old fish peddlers line the cobblestone streets with baskets full of the day’s catch. This image, taken in 1909 by Lewis Hine, captures more than just a marketplace — it reveals the tough lives of working-class immigrants and children who toiled to help their families survive.
In the boy’s expression and the worn clothes of the men around him, we see a history often left untold — one of resilience, labor, and silent endurance.
