EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "A new home on wheels (father and son)" by Dorothea Lange, captures the resilient spirit of a father and son as they adapt to their new mobile home in Yuba County, California during the Great Depression. Taken in the 1930s, this image is a poignant reminder of the harsh economic realities of the time, as countless Americans were forced to migrate from their homes in search of work and shelter. The image, taken by the renowned photographer Dorothea Lange for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), depicts the father and son standing proudly in front of their makeshift home, which is perched precariously atop a caravan. The rustic surroundings of the countryside are evident in the background, with the open road stretching out before them. The father, dressed in work clothes, gazes confidently at the camera, while his son, clad in a simple shirt and trousers, looks on with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension. The photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the human spirit, as these migrant workers sought to create a semblance of stability and normalcy amidst the chaos of the Great Depression. The image is also a powerful reminder of the importance of shelter and the fundamental need for a safe and secure place to call home, even in the most challenging of circumstances. This photograph is a valuable addition to the heritage of American photography and serves as a powerful reminder of the economic hardships faced by many during the Great Depression. It is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture the human condition and to provide a window into the past.
