EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph taken by Dorothea Lange in 1939 showcases the resilience and hard work of a farmer and his young son in Boundary County, Idaho. In the midst of the Great Depression, when economic hardships plagued America, this image captures a poignant moment of everyday life. The father and son duo are seen hauling water from barrels for drinking and domestic purposes on their stump farm. The boy's small frame is juxtaposed against the powerful horse that helps them with this laborious task. Their faces reflect determination as they navigate through the countryside, embodying the spirit of American rural life during this challenging era. Dorothea Lange was known for her ability to capture raw emotions through her lens, shedding light on social issues prevalent at that time. This photograph serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by families across America during the Great Depression. As we gaze upon this image today, it evokes feelings of admiration for these individuals who worked tirelessly to provide for their family amidst adversity. It also prompts us to reflect on our own privileges and appreciate how far we have come since then. Preserved within the archives of the Library of Congress, this photograph stands as an enduring testament to both Dorothea Lange's talent as a photographer and to those who persevered through one of America's darkest periods in history.
