Strawberry pickers
Title
Strawberry pickers
Description
Black and white image of a young man in jeans and a torn sweatshirt carrying wooden trays filled with strawberries through a field of strawberry plants. A woman wearing a headscarf picks berries in a nearby row, and other berry pickers can be seen in the far reaches of the field. Museum records do not identify either the farm or its location, but the landscape is very typical of Washington County. This negative was part of the Herbert McMullen bequest. McMullen was a local photographer who, in addition to taking his own photographs, collected images that depicted daily life in the area.
