Tenement homeworker with clothing tags. Roxbury, Massachusetts. August 1912. Photograph by Lewis Wickes Hine. View full size. Homeworkers, often children, sewed tags onto finished garments or performed other piecework at home instead of going to school.
I was working at the age of 12. Went out to the fields to pick berries and beans. But I didn't miss school to do it.

I'm bookmarking that page. Next time one of my kids complains about having to pick up their Legos or clean their rooms, I'm going to show them some of those pictures and point out that things could be worse!
