EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Dorothea Lange transports us back to the year 1939, during the heart of America's Great Depression. The image showcases a prosperous farmer's house and its surrounding farm landscape, located near Colbreth in North Carolina. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are immediately drawn to the idyllic scenery that unfolds before our eyes. The foreground reveals a lush grass lawn adorned with fields of peas and corn, symbolizing nature's bountiful offerings. On the left side stands a tobacco packhouse, hinting at the region's agricultural heritage. Behind it lies an unseen tobacco barn, shrouded in mystery yet undoubtedly playing a vital role in sustaining this thriving farm. The farmhouse itself exudes charm and resilience against economic hardship. Its porch serves as both a welcoming entrance and a vantage point for observing life unfold on this fertile land. This image captures not just an occupation or profession but also reflects the determination of farmers who weathered through challenging times. Dorothea Lange masterfully encapsulates both beauty and struggle within her lens' frame. Through her photography, she immortalizes moments that tell stories of human perseverance amidst adversity. This particular photograph is housed within the Congressional Library's collection as part of Lange's legacy documenting American history during one of its most trying eras. As we contemplate this scene from nearly a century ago, may it serve as a reminder of how far we have come while honoring those who paved the way for prosperity even in times of great poverty.
