EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1937, captures the grandeur and affluence of a plantation owner's home in Marshallville, Georgia. The image, titled "Plantation owner's home. Marshallville, Georgia," is a stark reminder of the contrasting realities of rural life during the Great Depression in the United States. The stately mansion, surrounded by lush greenery and well-manicured gardens, exudes an air of wealth and prosperity. The architecture of the house, with its columns and intricate detailing, is reminiscent of the antebellum era, harkening back to a time of grandeur and opulence. The photograph was taken during a time of economic hardship and uncertainty, with the country in the grip of the Great Depression. The Farm Security Administration (FSA), under the New Deal, commissioned Lange to document rural life in America. This image, along with many others taken during this period, provides a valuable record of a bygone era and serves as a reminder of the stark contrasts that existed between the haves and the have-nots during this time. The photograph was taken using a nitrate negative, which adds to the richness and depth of the image. The use of black and white adds to the timeless quality of the photograph, making it a powerful and enduring image of American history. The photograph was taken during a time when the Office of War Information (OWI) was also active in documenting American life. Lange's work during this period, including this image, is an important contribution to the heritage of American photography and serves as a testament to her skill and vision as a photographer.
