EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Horse and wagon is still a common means of transportation. Family coming from town on a Saturday afternoon," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in Southeast Missouri Farms during the 1930s. The image offers a poignant glimpse into rural life during the Great Depression, a time when economic hardship forced many families to rely on horse and mule-drawn wagons for transportation. The photograph depicts a family of four, including two children, making their way back to their farm after a day in town. The father, dressed in work clothes and wearing a hat, walks alongside the horse-drawn wagon, while his wife and two children sit in the back. The horse, with its head held high, pulls the wagon steadily along the dusty road. The image is a poignant reminder of the resilience and determination of rural communities during a time of great economic hardship. The use of a horse and wagon for transportation was a common sight in rural areas, where access to motorized vehicles was limited. The photograph also speaks to the enduring connection between people and animals, and the importance of community and family in the face of adversity. Dorothea Lange, a pioneering figure in American photography, captured this image as part of her work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and the Office of War Information (OWI) during the 1930s. Her powerful and evocative images of the Great Depression helped to bring attention to the plight of America's rural communities and played a significant role in shaping the public's perception of the era.
