EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1936, portrays the harsh realities of the Great Depression era in the United States. The image depicts a tubercular mother from Oklahoma, now living in the Kern migrant camp in California. The woman, seated in a worn-out chair, cradles her infant while her other children play nearby. The daily visits from the county nurse are a testament to her ongoing struggle with consumption, a common affliction among the displaced population during this period. The mother's husband is shown working in the cotton fields, able to pick one hundred pounds a day to provide for his family. The family's meager belongings are scattered around them, including a highchair for their youngest child. The image captures the stark reality of the agricultural workers and their families during this time, who were forced to leave their homes due to economic hardships and were displaced from their land. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the displacement and forced migration that occurred during the Great Depression, and the challenges faced by those who were forced to leave their homes in search of work and a better life. The image is a testament to the resilience and determination of the human spirit, even in the face of overwhelming adversity. The photograph was taken during Lange's tenure with the Farm Security Administration, an agency created to provide relief to rural communities affected by the Great Depression. Lange's work during this time is considered a seminal contribution to the documentary photography genre and continues to be a source of inspiration for photographers and social advocates to this day.
