EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Wife of Turpentine Worker near DuPont, Georgia," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1937. The image is a poignant depiction of the Great Depression's impact on rural communities, specifically on African American families in the southern United States. Lange, a pioneering figure in documentary photography, was a key figure in the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and later the Office of War Information (OWI). Her work during this period, including this image, is a testament to her ability to capture the human condition with empathy and authenticity. The photograph shows a woman, her face etched with worry and fatigue, standing outside a dilapidated house. The weathered wooden building, with peeling paint and broken windows, serves as a stark reminder of the economic hardships faced by many during this era. The woman's clothing, simple and worn, further emphasizes the poverty that was endemic to the region. The turpentine industry, which relied on the labor of African American workers, was particularly hard hit during the Great Depression. The demand for turpentine, used primarily in the production of paint and varnishes, declined significantly, leaving many families without a means of income. This image, with its raw and unflinching portrayal of poverty and struggle, is a powerful reminder of the past and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
