EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures the essence of Walter E. Packard, Acting Director of the Rural Resettlement Division in 1936. Dorothea Lange's keen eye for detail and emotion is evident in this powerful image, showcasing Packard as a man of authority and influence during a pivotal moment in American history.
In the midst of the Great Depression, Packard played a crucial role in overseeing agricultural development and economic recovery efforts across rural America. As an administrator with the Agricultural Adjustment Administration and later with the Farm Security Administration, he worked tirelessly to address the challenges facing farmers and communities struggling to survive during this tumultuous time.
Lange's photograph not only immortalizes Packard's important work but also serves as a reminder of the resilience and determination that defined this era. The intensity in Packard's gaze speaks volumes about his dedication to his job and his commitment to making a difference in people's lives.
As we reflect on this snapshot from our nation's past, we are reminded of the enduring impact that individuals like Walter E. Packard had on shaping America's future. Through Lange's lens, we are transported back to a time when hope was scarce but perseverance was abundant - a testament to the strength of the human spirit even in times of adversity.
