EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Near San Juan Bautista, California. Large-scale pea fields," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in the year 1939. The image showcases a vast expanse of pea fields, located in San Juan Bautista, California, during the 20th century. The Great Depression had hit America hard, and the country was grappling with economic instability and widespread poverty. This photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the agricultural heartland of the United States during that era. Lange, a pioneering figure in documentary photography, captured this image as part of her work with the Farm Security Administration (FSA). The FSA was an New Deal agency that aimed to provide relief to rural communities affected by the Depression. The photograph is a testament to the hard work and determination of the farmers and laborers who toiled in the fields to put food on the table for their families and communities. The hills in the background are dotted with small, white pea plants, stretching as far as the eye can see. In the foreground, a group of pea pickers can be seen, bent over, their backs towards the camera, as they carefully select ripe peas from the vines. The photograph captures the raw beauty of the natural landscape, as well as the human spirit and resilience of those who worked the land. This image is a valuable historical artifact, offering a glimpse into a bygone era and a poignant reminder of the challenges and triumphs of American agriculture during the Great Depression. The photograph is a negative, likely made of nitrate, and is part of the Dorothea Lange Collection at the Library of Congress.
