1056 Cotton Labour Manual Mill Poverty Spinner Vermont Anaemic
EDITORS COMMENTS
Addie Card: A Young Cotton Mill Worker's Struggle in North Pownal, Vermont, 1910 (Photo No. 1056) This poignant photograph captures the image of Addie Card, an anemic little spinner, toiling away at her manual labor in the North Pownal Cotton Mill in Vermont during the summer of 1910. The mill, located in the picturesque rural landscape of Vermont, was a significant source of employment for the local community, yet it came at a great cost to its young workers like Addie. The photograph reveals the harsh realities of child labor during this era, with Addie appearing small and frail, her anemic condition a clear indication of the physical toll of her work. Her expression is one of determination and focus, as she spins the cotton thread with great concentration. The mill's machinery hums in the background, a constant reminder of the relentless pace of production. Despite the beauty of the Vermont countryside, the image underscores the stark contrast between the idyllic setting and the harsh realities of poverty and labor exploitation faced by mill workers like Addie. The United States, with its vast industrialization, was experiencing rapid growth during this period, but at what cost to its most vulnerable citizens? This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the human toll of the industrial revolution and the ongoing struggle for workers' rights and fair labor practices. The photograph, titled "Addie Card: An Anaemic Little Spinner in North Pownal Cotton Mill," is a powerful testament to the resilience and determination of the human spirit in the face of adversity. It is a reminder that while progress has been made, there is still much work to be done to ensure fair labor practices and to uplift the most vulnerable members of our society.
