EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Cabins at the Delta cooperative farm, Hillhouse, Mississippi. [Porches with mosquito screens]," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1937. The image offers a poignant glimpse into rural life during the Great Depression, specifically at a cooperative farm in Hillhouse, Mississippi. The cooperative farm was part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA), a New Deal agency established to provide relief to rural communities affected by the economic downturn. The photograph features a row of simple, rustic bungalows, each with a covered porch and mosquito screens. The cabins, which housed the farm's workers and their families, exude a sense of resilience and determination in the face of adversity. The use of mosquito screens not only served as a practical means of keeping insects at bay but also added a touch of home comfort to the modest dwellings. The scene is reminiscent of the rural South during the 1930s, with its rolling hills, farmland, and simple, functional architecture. The image is a testament to the spirit of community and cooperation that emerged during this challenging period in American history. Dorothea Lange, a pioneering figure in documentary photography, captured this moment with sensitivity and empathy, making it an enduring symbol of the human capacity to adapt and thrive in the face of adversity. This photograph is an essential part of the historical record of the Great Depression and the New Deal era, and it continues to resonate with viewers today as a powerful reminder of the importance of community, resilience, and the human spirit.
