EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Horse and wagon is still a common means of transportation. Family coming from town on a Saturday afternoon," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in Southeast Missouri Farms during the 1930s. The image offers a poignant glimpse into the rural life of the Great Depression era in the United States. The photograph portrays a family of five making their way back to their farm on a horse-drawn wagon. The father, dressed in work clothes, sits at the reins, while his wife and three children huddle together in the back. Two mules pull the wagon, their heads turned towards the family as if in quiet companionship. The road leading into the countryside stretches out behind them, a testament to the long journey they have undertaken. The image is a poignant reminder of the economic hardships faced by rural communities during the Great Depression. Horse and wagon were still the primary means of transportation for many families in the countryside, as automobiles were a luxury few could afford. The photograph also speaks to the resilience and determination of these families, who continued to work the land and provide for themselves despite the challenges they faced. Dorothea Lange, a pioneering figure in American photography, captured this image as part of her work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and the Office of War Information (OWI). Her photographs are an invaluable record of this period in American history, offering a unique and powerful perspective on the human experience during the Great Depression.
