EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Indiana Farmer," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in the 1930s during the Great Depression. The image portrays a stoic farmer, dressed in the traditional attire of the era: bib overalls, a worn-out work shirt, and a well-used Stetson hat. His face, etched with the lines of hard labor and the weight of economic struggle, gazes directly into the camera with a quiet determination. The photograph was taken during Lange's tenure with the Farm Security Administration (FSA), a New Deal agency that aimed to provide relief to rural communities affected by the Depression. The image is a poignant reminder of the harsh realities of rural life during this period, when farmers struggled to make ends meet and provide for their families. The photograph is a testament to the enduring heritage of American agriculture and the resilience of those who work the land. The image has become an iconic representation of the era, and is a reminder of the importance of documenting the human experience during times of economic hardship. The photograph is a nitrate negative, which was a common format for documentary photography during the 1930s. It is now part of the Dorothea Lange Collection at the Library of Congress, and is a valuable resource for scholars and historians studying the Great Depression and American rural life. The image has been reproduced numerous times, and has been used in various contexts, from academic research to advertising. However, it is important to remember that this photograph is a work of art and a historical document, and should be treated with respect and care. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the United States, and a testament to the power of photography to capture the human condition.
