EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful photograph captured by Dorothea Lange in 1939, we are transported to a migrant camp in Calipatria, California during the Great Depression. The image depicts a hardworking farmer diligently cooking a meal for his family inside their humble tent. As smoke billows from the wood-burning stove, it is evident that this man's determination to provide sustenance for his loved ones knows no bounds. The scene exudes an air of resilience and resourcefulness as the father tends to the pot on the stove while surrounded by meager belongings. His daughter stands nearby, her eyes filled with both curiosity and gratitude for her father's efforts. This snapshot captures not only daily life but also showcases the strength of familial bonds even amidst adversity. Lange's photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by working-class families during this era. It symbolizes both their hardships and their unwavering spirit in making do with what little they had. Through her lens, Lange immortalizes these unsung heroes who were part of America's New Deal movement – individuals who persevered through poverty and displacement. As we gaze upon this print from The Granger Collection, we are reminded of our collective responsibility to honor those who came before us and fought against all odds for a better future.
