EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Dorothea Lange transports us back to the wheat harvest in Southwestern Oklahoma in 1937. The image captures a caravan of agricultural workers, dressed in bib overalls and dungarees, as they make their way through the countryside towards the fields. The photograph exudes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era, showcasing the hardworking farm hands and their trusty horses pulling a horse-drawn vehicle.
Lange's keen eye for detail is evident in this snapshot of American agriculture during the Great Depression. The image not only documents the economic hardships faced by farmers during this time but also serves as a reminder of their resilience and determination to persevere.
As we study each figure in the photograph - from men to women - we are reminded of the crucial role that farm workers played in sustaining our nation's food supply. This piece of heritage art is a testament to Lange's ability to capture raw emotion and human experience through her lens.
With every glance at this powerful image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the struggles and triumphs of those who worked tirelessly on farmland across America.
