FLORIDA - ORANGE PICKING - Capturing the Essence of Hard Work and Abundance in Polk County
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph, taken by Arthur Rothstein in 1937, transports us to the sun-drenched orchards of Polk County, Florida. In this timeless image titled "Florida: Orange Picking" we witness a man diligently picking oranges from a towering tree while perched on an old wooden ladder. The photograph beautifully encapsulates the spirit of early American life during the New Deal era. The worker's weathered face reflects his dedication as he carefully plucks ripe oranges, symbolizing both sustenance and economic prosperity for this region known for its citrus bounty. Rothstein's lens captures not only the physical labor but also the inherent dignity of this migrant worker. His presence amidst nature's abundance reminds us of America's working class heroes who toiled tirelessly to build a better future for themselves and their families. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded that behind every orange lies countless hours of hard work and determination. This image serves as a testament to the resilience and perseverance found within those who labored under challenging conditions. Granger Art on Demand has preserved this historical gem from our nation's past, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic merit and its cultural significance. Let it serve as a reminder that even in times when commercial interests may overshadow human stories, there is beauty in capturing moments that celebrate ordinary people engaged in extraordinary acts.
