EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1937, depicts plant quarantine inspectors meticulously examining baggage arriving from Mexico at Glendale Airport in California. The era's economic downturn, brought about by the Great Depression, is palpable in the scene as inspectors diligently search for injurious insects that could potentially threaten American agriculture. The arrival of goods by airplane, represented by the sleek AC Cars Ltd. aeroplane in the background, symbolizes the burgeoning air transport industry. The inspectors, dressed in formal attire and donning serious expressions, are a testament to the importance of border control and the protection of the nation's agricultural industry. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily workings of the Office of War Information and the Farm Security Administration during this critical period in American history. The image, a poignant reminder of the economic struggles and the importance of safeguarding the country's resources, remains a significant heritage art piece.
