EDITORS COMMENTS
She Awaits: A Symbol of Hope and Perseverance in the Depression-Era Borderlands This evocative black-and-white photograph, captured by the renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1938, portrays an elderly woman seated at a bus stop in El Paso, Texas. The woman, dressed in simple clothing and with a weary expression, appears to be dozing off as she waits for the international streetcar to return across the bridge. The image, titled 'She Awaits the International Streetcar at a Corner in El Paso, Texas to Return Across the Bridge,' is a poignant representation of the hardships faced by people during the Great Depression, particularly in the border regions of the United States. The photograph was taken during Lange's tenure with the Farm Security Administration (FSA), a New Deal agency established to provide relief to rural areas affected by the economic downturn. Lange, along with her colleague, Russell Lee, documented the lives of ordinary Americans, capturing the raw emotions and realities of the era. The image is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, as the woman's peaceful slumber contrasts with the harsh realities of her surroundings. The shop window behind her displays a reflection of the bustling street scene, while the car in the foreground and the distant bridge symbolize the promise of transportation and connection to a larger world. This photograph is an essential piece of American heritage art, capturing the essence of a bygone era and the indomitable spirit of the people who lived through it. The image is a nitrate negative, a photographic process that was popular during the 20th century, and is now considered a valuable historical artifact. The photograph is also part of the Office of War Information (OWI) collection, which documented the American experience during the Great Depression and World War II.
