EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Alabama Tenant Farmer near Anniston, Alabama," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1936 during the Great Depression. The image showcases a tenant farmer in his full length, clad in denim bib overalls and a worn hat, as he gestures towards a hoe while standing in the arid, sun-scorched countryside. The farmer's expression conveys a sense of resilience and determination in the face of adversity, as he continues to labor the land to provide for himself and his family. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the economic struggles faced by agricultural workers during this period, particularly in the rural Southern United States. Dorothea Lange, a pioneering figure in documentary photography, captured this image as part of her work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), an New Deal agency that aimed to provide relief to rural communities affected by the Great Depression. The photograph is now part of the vast collection of the Library of Congress, and serves as an enduring testament to the human spirit and the enduring challenges of rural life in America during the 20th century.
