EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, captures a group of young farmers at the Farm Security Administration (FSA) cooperative farm in Lake Dick, Arkansas. During the Great Depression, the FSA was established by the U.S. government to provide relief and support to struggling farmers and rural communities. In this image, the farmers, dressed in denim bib overalls and work shirts, gather around a makeshift table, taking a break from their labor-intensive farming tasks. Some farmers light up cigarettes, while others engage in conversation or simply rest. The scene exudes a sense of camaraderie and resilience, as these farmers, selected from various regions of Arkansas, come together to work the land and support one another during difficult times. The simple clothing they wear, consisting of bib overalls and work dresses, reflects the practical nature of rural life and the economic realities of the era. This powerful image not only documents the agricultural cooperative movement of the 1930s but also captures the spirit of community and determination that defined the American farming landscape during this period.
