EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "TOBACCO FARM, 1939" takes us back in time to the heart of rural America during the Great Depression. The image showcases a hillside farmhouse nestled amidst an expansive tobacco field in Person County, North Carolina. Captured by the talented photographer Dorothea Lange in July 1939, this photograph offers a glimpse into the challenges faced by farming communities during this era. The scene is both beautiful and haunting as it reveals signs of erosion that have affected the land. The once fertile soil now bears witness to the hardships endured by farmers striving to make a living from their crops. Surrounding the farmhouse are various outbuildings, serving as reminders of hard work and resilience. Lange's lens captures not only physical elements but also emotions tied to this period in history. It serves as a powerful representation of life on American farms during these difficult times when families relied heavily on agriculture for survival. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an early summer day where hope mingled with despair. This photograph stands as a testament to Lange's ability to capture raw human experiences through her lens and reminds us of the transformative power that art holds even decades later.
