EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Overseer in the Turpentine Woods," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in Georgia during the 1930s. The image is a poignant depiction of the Great Depression's impact on rural America and the lives of those working in the turpentine industry. The photograph captures a horseman, identified as Lee Russell, an overseer, as he rides through the dense, rustic forest of the southeastern United States. The overseer, dressed in a worn work shirt and pants, wears a serious expression as he gazes intently at the animals he leads. The turpentine woods, a traditional source of income for many rural communities during this period, are depicted as a harsh and unforgiving landscape, with gnarled trees and a desolate, almost barren appearance. Lange, a key figure in the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and later the Office of War Information (OWI), documented the lives of people affected by the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl. This image is a powerful representation of the economic struggles faced by rural communities during this time, as well as the resilience and determination of those who worked the land and industries like the turpentine industry. The photograph's composition, with the horseman and his horses framed against the backdrop of the forest, emphasizes the connection between man and nature, and the importance of the working relationship between man and animal in rural life. The image is a testament to the heritage of rural America and the enduring spirit of those who lived and worked through the challenges of the Great Depression.
