EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1938, captures a significant moment in California's political history. The image was taken in San Francisco during the tenure of the Democratic administration, which came to power after forty-four years of Republican rule. The California New Deal, modeled after President Franklin D. Roosevelt's national New Deal, faced similar opposition as it aimed to alleviate the economic hardships of the Great Depression. The photograph shows a newsstand in the bustling streets of San Francisco, with headlines from various newspapers and magazines prominently displayed. One headline reads, "California Gets a Democratic Administration," reflecting the excitement and anticipation of the political shift. Another headline, "Culbert Olson Sworn In," announces the inauguration of the new Governor of California, Culbert Olson. The photograph also features a kiosk displaying a poster for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), an agency established under the New Deal to provide relief to farmers and rural communities. The FSA, along with other New Deal programs, aimed to provide employment opportunities, food assistance, and other forms of relief to those affected by the Great Depression. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the political and economic climate of the time, as well as the role of the media in shaping public opinion and reporting on significant events. Dorothea Lange's powerful image captures the hope and anticipation that came with the arrival of a Democratic administration and the promise of relief from the economic hardships of the Great Depression.
