1913 Antioch Branch Child Labor Children Cocoon Industry Mulberry Silk Silkworm Tree Turkey Turkish Working Class Hatching Stereograph
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in the silk industry of Antioch, Turkey, circa 1913. The image showcases the intricate process of cooling and drying silk cocoons after the deadening process. In this bustling scene, children from the working class can be seen diligently tending to the delicate cocoons under a mulberry tree. The sepia-toned print transports us back to an era when child labor was prevalent in industries across the globe. It serves as a stark reminder of the hardships faced by these young workers who played an integral role in supporting their families. The composition of this stereograph is both visually striking and historically significant. It offers a glimpse into early Turkish industry and highlights how silkworms were cultivated for their valuable threads. The attention to detail is evident as each cocoon is carefully handled with precision and care. This photograph, part of Granger Art on Demand's collection, allows us to appreciate not only the artistry behind capturing such moments but also sheds light on an important chapter in Turkey's history. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let it serve as a testament to human resilience and ingenuity amidst challenging circumstances.
