EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Son of Destitute Migrant, American River camp, near Sacramento, California. The boy has dysentery," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1936 during the Great Depression. The image is a poignant depiction of the harsh realities faced by migrant families during this period. The photograph shows a young boy lying on a worn-out mattress in a makeshift shelter. He is dressed in tattered denim bib overalls and barefoot, his feet dirty from the ground. The boy's sickly appearance and the empty, disheveled camp around him are clear indicators of the dire living conditions and the hardships that the family was enduring. The photograph was taken during a time when the United States was grappling with the economic downturn caused by the Great Depression. The Farm Security Administration (FSA), under the New Deal, was established to provide relief to rural areas affected by the economic crisis. Dorothea Lange, as a photographer for the FSA, documented the lives of migrant families and the conditions they lived in. The image is a powerful reminder of the human cost of economic hardship and the resilience of the human spirit. The boy's vulnerable and sickly appearance, coupled with the stark contrast between his clothing and the barren surroundings, highlights the stark reality of poverty and illness during this period. The photograph is a significant piece of American history and a testament to the important work of Dorothea Lange and the FSA in documenting the lives of migrant families during the Great Depression. The photograph is a nitrate negative, which is a type of photographic film that was commonly used in the 20th century. It is now part of the collections of the Library of Congress, and is a valuable heritage art piece that continues to inspire and inform us about the past.
