EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captured by Dorothea Lange in 1939 tells the story of an Oklahoman farm laborer who worked tirelessly for three years near Ontario, Malheur County, Oregon. The man's rugged appearance is a testament to his dedication and hard work in the agricultural industry during a time of economic depression. Dressed in bib overalls made from durable denim fabric, he stands tall against the backdrop of vast farmland. His clothing symbolizes both practicality and resilience as he labors with machinery that represents progress and industrialization. Despite his illiteracy, this man is hailed as the "best farm laborer" by the farmer employing him. Lange's composition captures not only the physical presence of this anonymous worker but also hints at his aspirations for a better future. Having quit school after just three days, he dreams of owning his own land one day - a goal that speaks to his determination and ambition. Through her lens, Lange humanizes this nameless figure within America's agricultural landscape during a challenging era. This photograph serves as a reminder of the strength and spirit exhibited by countless individuals who toiled on farms across the country during this period. Preserved within the Library of Congress' collection, this image stands as an enduring testament to Dorothea Lange's ability to capture powerful moments that transcend time and speak volumes about our shared history.
