EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Sign near Saint David, Arizona. ['For Sale - This Place and Cow']," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in the 1930s. The image offers a poignant snapshot of rural life during the Great Depression in the United States. The desolate scene features a weathered sign leaning against a barbed-wire fence, with the words "For Sale - This Place and Cow" clearly visible. The image exudes a sense of desperation and economic hardship, reflecting the challenging times faced by farmers and ranchers during this period. Lange, a key figure in the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and later the Office of War Information (OWI), documented the effects of the Depression and the Dust Bowl on rural communities across America. This photograph is a testament to her ability to capture the human spirit and resilience in the face of adversity. The image's rustic setting and the seller's determination to part with his land and cow underscore the economic struggles faced by rural communities during this era. The photograph is a valuable historical artifact, showcasing the stark realities of the Great Depression and the determination of Americans to persevere in the face of adversity. The image's timeless quality and powerful narrative continue to resonate with viewers today, making it an enduring symbol of a pivotal moment in American history.
