EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Migrant Agricultural Worker, Near Holtville, California," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in the 1930s during the Great Depression. The image is a poignant representation of the harsh realities faced by migrant farmworkers in rural America during this period. Lange, a pioneering figure in documentary photography, captured this portrait as part of her work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), a New Deal agency that aimed to provide relief to rural communities affected by the economic downturn. The photograph shows a weary-looking man, dressed in worn clothing and resting his head in his hands, as he sits on the side of a dirt road. The barren countryside in the background underscores the desolation and poverty that defined the lives of many migrant farmworkers during this time. The image is a powerful reminder of the human cost of the Great Depression and the struggles faced by those who worked in agriculture. Lange's photograph is a testament to the resilience and determination of the American people during a time of great hardship. The photograph is also a significant contribution to the historical record of rural life in America during the 20th century and continues to be an important work in the canon of American photography. This image is part of the Dorothea Lange Collection in the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress, Washington D.C. It is a nitrate negative, which is a type of photographic film that was commonly used in the 20th century. The photograph has been reproduced and distributed widely, including by the Office of War Information (OWI) during World War II, and continues to be a beloved and iconic image in American culture.
