EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "WASHINGTON: HARVEST, 1939" transports us back to a significant moment in American history. Taken by the talented photographer Dorothea Lange in August of that year, it captures the essence of life during the Great Depression. The image showcases migrant workers diligently picking pears at Pleasant Hill Orchards in Yakima Valley, Washington State. These men, part of the working class struggling to make ends meet, are seen laboring under the scorching summer sun. With ladders propped against pear trees and baskets filled with fruit, their hard work is evident. Lange's photograph not only documents this specific moment but also serves as a powerful representation of an era marked by economic hardship and rural poverty. The Farm Security Administration (FSA) commissioned such photographs to raise awareness about the plight of these workers and advocate for government intervention through programs like the New Deal. With its stark composition and evocative imagery, this photograph reminds us of both the resilience and struggles faced by those who worked tirelessly on farms during this challenging period in American history. It stands as a testament to Dorothea Lange's ability to capture raw emotion within her subjects while shedding light on important social issues.
