FLORIDA - ORANGE PICKING. Capturing the Essence of Hard Work and Abundance in Polk County, Florida
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph transports us back to a time when life was simpler yet filled with arduous labor and the promise of nature's bounty. Taken by renowned photographer Arthur Rothstein in 1937, this image showcases a man diligently picking oranges amidst the lush orchards of Polk County, Florida. The unidentified worker stands tall on a ladder, his weathered hands carefully plucking ripe oranges from the branches above. With an air of determination etched on his face, he represents the working class spirit that defined America during this era. Surrounded by crates and bags overflowing with citrus fruit, it is evident that orange picking was not just a job but also a way of life for many migrant workers seeking opportunities in the Southeast region. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of their resilience and contribution to American society. Rothstein's lens captures both the early morning light filtering through tree branches and the unmistakable sense of abundance present in every corner of this vibrant orchard. It is an ode to nature's generosity as well as human perseverance. As we gaze upon this timeless piece captured by Granger Art on Demand, we are transported into an era where hard work met opportunity under clear blue skies - reminding us that even amidst challenges, there is always beauty to be found in our surroundings.
