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 of profound economic hardship and poverty in the United States. The photograph features a horse-drawn wagon, its wheels caked with mud, making its way along a dusty country road. A family of five, dressed in simple, worn clothing, walks alongside the wagon. The father, a man with a weathered face and work-worn hands, leads the way, while his wife and three children follow closely behind. The children, dressed in ragged clothes and barefoot, look up at their parents with curious expressions. The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era, when horse and wagon were the primary means of transportation in rural areas. The image speaks to the resilience and determination of the human spirit in the face of adversity, as well as the enduring connection between people and the land. Lange, a pioneering figure in documentary photography, captured this image as part of her work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and the Office of War Information (OWI). Her photographs, which documented the lives of ordinary Americans during the Great Depression and World War II, are now considered an important part of American heritage and continue to inspire and inform our understanding of the past.
