Pharr Plantation House, Social Circle, Georgia, 1937
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph taken by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange. The image showcases the abandoned and dilapidated Pharr Plantation house, located in the countryside of Social Circle, Georgia. The photograph was taken during the 1930s, a period marked by the Great Depression and economic hardship in America. The antebellum-style plantation house, with its columns and balconies, stands proudly yet derelict, a poignant reminder of a bygone era. The once grand architectural features, such as the ornate pillars and balcony, now appear weathered and worn, their grandeur faded. The house, surrounded by empty fields and overgrown vegetation, seems to have been deserted for decades. The photograph was taken during Lange's work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and the Office of War Information (OWI). Lange, known for her documentation of the Great Depression and its impact on rural America, captured the essence of rural life during this period. The image is a testament to the hardships faced by many Americans during this time and serves as an important historical record. The photograph, with its rustic charm and sense of nostalgia, is a powerful reminder of the past and the resilience of the American spirit. The image has become a cherished piece of American heritage art and continues to inspire artists and historians alike. The Pharr Plantation house, though abandoned and forgotten, remains a significant part of America's history, captured forever in Dorothea Lange's iconic photograph.
