CARROT PULLER, 1937 - A Glimpse into the Hardships of Rural America during the Great Depression
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a poignant moment in American history. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in February 1937, it showcases a carrot puller diligently working in a vast field located in the Coachella Valley, California. The image reflects the daily struggles faced by migrant workers during this era of economic turmoil. In this snapshot, we see a man wearing a straw hat to shield himself from the scorching sun as he carefully pulls carrots from the fertile soil. His weathered face and worn-out clothing tell tales of poverty and hardship that were all too common during those challenging times. The wooden crate beside him serves as a reminder of his laborious efforts to harvest crops for survival. Lange's lens beautifully captures not only an individual at work but also sheds light on broader issues such as rural poverty and agricultural labor practices prevalent during that period. This photograph is part of Lange's extensive documentation commissioned by the Farm Security Administration (FSA) under President Roosevelt's New Deal program. As we gaze upon this powerful image, let us remember those who toiled tirelessly to put food on our tables amidst adversity. It stands as both an homage to their resilience and an important historical record that reminds us never to take our present-day privileges for granted.
