EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1936, captures the stark reality of a roadside ranch camp owned by a large grower who was opposed to the Resettlement Administration's migrant camp in Kern County, California. The image is a poignant representation of the living conditions endured by many during the Great Depression in the United States. The scene is set against the backdrop of the rural countryside, with a rustic shack and a tent city in the foreground. The shack, with its worn-out wooden exterior and a domestic appliance, a stove, peeking out of a window, suggests a meager attempt at providing some semblance of comfort and stability. In contrast, the tents in the tent city are haphazardly arranged, with makeshift stoves and other household appliances scattered around, indicating the transient nature of the residents' existence. The photograph is a testament to the economic hardships faced by many Americans during the Depression era. Dorothea Lange, through her powerful imagery, captured the plight of the dispossessed and brought attention to the need for government intervention and support. The image is part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) collection, which was later transferred to the Office of War Information (OWI) during World War II. This photograph is a significant historical artifact, providing a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the resilience and determination of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
