EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph taken by Dorothea Lange in 1939 showcases a sign on a campsite opposite potato packing sheds in Tulelake, Siskiyou County, California. The image captures the essence of rural life during the Great Depression era in America. The sign prominently displayed reads: "Notice - Camping on these Grounds permitted only by permit from Chief of Police. City of Tulelake. Rate $1.00 per month". This simple yet powerful message reflects the strict regulations imposed during that time, highlighting the economic hardships faced by many families. Lange's keen eye for detail also captured another important aspect mentioned on the sign: "Water at pump not safe to drink". This reminder serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by those living in this campsite, where even access to clean water was limited. The photograph evokes a sense of rustic charm with its portrayal of tents scattered across an open field against a backdrop of potato packing sheds. It offers us a glimpse into the daily lives and struggles endured by individuals seeking refuge amidst challenging times. Dorothea Lange's work for the Farm Security Administration documented American life during this period and became iconic representations of regionalism and social documentary photography. Through her lens, she shed light on societal issues while capturing moments that would become part of our nation's heritage.
