EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Migrants from Delaware picking berries in southern New Jersey," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in the 1930s during the Great Depression. The image offers a poignant glimpse into the harsh realities of farm labor during this period, as depicted by the tireless efforts of these migrant workers from Delaware. The scene unfolds in the idyllic countryside of southern New Jersey, where the rolling hills and lush greenery provide a stark contrast to the back-breaking labor of the workers. The sun beats down mercilessly on their weathered faces, their bodies bent double as they carefully pick ripe berries from the fields. The heat of the day is palpable, yet they press on, driven by the necessity of putting food on the table for their families. Lange's photograph is a poignant reminder of the economic struggles faced by many during this era, and the often arduous nature of agricultural work. The Congressional Library, where this image is housed, preserves this important piece of American history, a testament to the resilience and determination of the human spirit in the face of adversity. The photograph is a powerful conceptual piece, capturing the essence of the Great Depression and the plight of the farm laborers who toiled in the fields. Dorothea Lange, a pioneering figure in documentary photography, expertly captured the raw emotion and grit of the moment, leaving a lasting impact on viewers and ensuring that the stories of these migrant workers are never forgotten.
