EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Georgia road sign. ['Hambuglars']" was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in the 1930s during the Great Depression. The image showcases a quirky road sign located in rural Georgia, United States of America. The sign, which reads "Hambuglars," is a playful take on the word "hamburgers," a popular food item that was becoming increasingly affordable and accessible during this time. During the 1930s, the United States was grappling with the economic hardships of the Great Depression. The Farm Security Administration (FSA), under the New Deal, was established to provide relief and support to rural communities. Dorothea Lange, a photographer for the FSA, traveled extensively throughout the country documenting the lives of Americans affected by the Depression. This photograph is a testament to the unique character and resilience of rural America during this period. The sign, with its misspelled word and humorous message, adds a touch of whimsy and levity to the otherwise somber context of the time. The image is also a reminder of the importance of literacy and education, as the sign's message can only be understood by those who can read. The photograph was taken using a nitrate negative and is part of Dorothea Lange's extensive body of work. It was later reproduced by the Office of War Information (OWI) during World War II as part of their efforts to promote American regionalism and boost morale. Today, this photograph is considered a valuable piece of American heritage art, showcasing the unique character and charm of rural America during the 1930s.
