EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, showcases the entrance to a camp in Farmersville, California. The image provides a birds-eye view of the camp's landscape, offering an aerial perspective that reveals its layout and facilities. In the foreground stands a light-colored building, identified as the clinic, which serves as a beacon of hope amidst challenging times. Lange's photograph captures not only the physical aspects of this model village but also conveys deeper concepts related to American history. It is emblematic of the economic struggles faced during the Great Depression and highlights forced displacement and migration experienced by many Americans at that time. The image holds significant historical value as it was created under the Farm Security Administration (FSA), an agency established to combat rural poverty during this era. Lange's work for FSA documented life across America with compassion and empathy. Preserved within the Library of Congress' collection, this still image offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in our country's past. It reminds us of both resilience and hardship while serving as a testament to Lange's talent for capturing poignant moments through her lens.
