EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Cotton Picker, San Joaquin Valley, California," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1936 during the Great Depression. The image portrays a solitary figure, a cotton picker, standing in a sun-scorched California field, his weathered face etched with the lines of hard labor. The vast expanse of the cotton field stretches behind him, dotted with other laborers, each toiling under the relentless sun, their backs bent, their bodies weary from the arduous work. The cotton sacks at their feet, filled with the harvested cotton, are a testament to their tireless efforts. The image is a poignant reminder of the harsh realities of agricultural labor during this period, and the economic struggles faced by countless Americans during the Great Depression. Dorothea Lange, a pioneering figure in documentary photography, captured this moment with a raw, unflinching honesty that continues to resonate with viewers today. This photograph, now part of the Library of Congress collection, is a powerful visual record of a pivotal moment in American history.
