EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Youngest child of four of rural rehabilitation client. Father assisted in establishing poultry farm. Loan successful. Near San Fernando, California," was captured by the renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in the 1930s during the Great Depression. The image is a poignant depiction of rural life in America during this challenging period. The photograph features the youngest of four children, dressed in denim bib overalls and a simple cotton dress, standing in front of a row of chickens on a makeshift farm. The father, who is not present in the frame, played a crucial role in the establishment of this poultry farm as part of the Rural Rehabilitation Administration's efforts to provide economic assistance to struggling rural communities. The image is a testament to the resilience and determination of rural families during this time, who were forced to adapt to the harsh realities of the Depression and find innovative ways to make ends meet. The children's clothing, consisting of practical and functional pieces like denim overalls and simple dresses, reflects the economic realities of the time. The photograph was taken during Lange's tenure with the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and later the Office of War Information (OWI), where she documented the lives of ordinary Americans during these tumultuous times. The image is now part of the rich heritage of American photography and serves as a reminder of the enduring spirit of rural communities during the Great Depression.
