EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captures the resilience and hard work of a Mexican grandmother as she harvests tomatoes in Santa Clara Valley, California in 1938. Dorothea Lange's lens beautifully portrays the strength and determination of this agricultural worker, who migrates with her large family each year from Glendale, Arizona to follow crops through California.
In the midst of the Great Depression, this grandmother embodies the spirit of American perseverance and dedication to providing for her loved ones. Her weathered hands tell a story of countless hours spent laboring in the fields, picking fruits that will eventually make their way to dinner tables across the country.
As she stands amidst rows of tomato plants, surrounded by vast farmland stretching into the horizon, one can't help but feel a sense of admiration for her unwavering commitment to her work and family. This photograph is not just a snapshot in time; it is a testament to generations of immigrant workers who have played an integral role in shaping America's agricultural landscape.
Dorothea Lange's talent shines through in capturing this intimate moment with such depth and emotion. Through her lens, we are given a glimpse into the daily life and struggles faced by migrant farmworkers during this tumultuous period in American history.
