EDITORS COMMENTS
End of the day, pea pickers, near Calipatria, California, 1939. This powerful photograph by Dorothea Lange captures the harsh reality of agricultural workers during the Great Depression in America. The image showcases a group of farm laborers, wearing bib overalls and dungarees, as they rest at the end of a long day in the scorching heat. The worn-out expressions on their faces reflect not only physical exhaustion but also economic hardships faced by these individuals. Their clothing is tattered and sweat-soaked, symbolizing their toil in the fields for meager wages. Each worker clutches a basket or hamper used to collect peas - their livelihood depended on this backbreaking work. Lange's lens transports us to a rural countryside setting with vast farmland stretching into the distance. The backdrop serves as a reminder of both nature's beauty and its unforgiving demands on those who rely on it for survival. Commissioned by Farm Security Administration (FSA), this photograph stands as an enduring testament to Lange's ability to capture raw human emotions within her documentary-style photography. It provides viewers with an intimate glimpse into the lives of ordinary people struggling through one of America's darkest periods. Preserved in history at Congressional Library and Library of Congress archives, this iconic image continues to resonate today as a poignant reminder of resilience amidst adversity.
