EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Tobacco Flower" transports us back to the summer of 1939 on a tobacco farm in Shoofly, North Carolina. The renowned photographer Dorothea Lange skillfully captures the essence of this single tobacco flower amidst a field of leaves, symbolizing hope and resilience during a time marked by hardship. In the midst of the Great Depression, when many Americans were struggling to make ends meet, this image serves as a reminder of the importance of agriculture as an industry that sustained communities. The Tobacco flower represents not only a crop but also signifies new beginnings and growth. Lange's photograph is part of her extensive documentation for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), which aimed to alleviate rural poverty through various New Deal programs. Through her lens, she immortalizes the beauty found within these rural landscapes while shedding light on the challenges faced by farmers in their daily lives. The composition evokes a sense of tranquility and simplicity, with each delicate petal carefully captured against a backdrop of lush greenery. This image speaks volumes about both nature's ability to thrive even in difficult circumstances and humanity's reliance on agricultural practices for sustenance. As we admire this timeless piece from The Granger Collection, let us reflect upon our connection with nature and appreciate those who work tirelessly to cultivate crops that sustain us all.
