Cranberry harvesting in New England and the Pacific Northwest was labor done largely by families, and this scene shows women and children working the flooded bogs by hand, raking or stripping berries from the vines into baskets. Cranberries were already a fixture of autumn tables by the late 1800s, which is why they became tied to Thanksgiving, and the bogs that supplied them were often seasonal, worked in the cold months before the fruit was sold. The picture is worth a closer look for its clothing, the wet ground, and the way the work was shared across generations.
