EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Possibly: Stringing tobacco, Granville County, North Carolina, 1939" captures a poignant moment in American history. Taken by the renowned photographer Dorothea Lange during the Great Depression era, this image offers a glimpse into the lives of hardworking individuals in rural America. In this powerful scene, we see men and women diligently stringing tobacco sticks while horses stand nearby to hold them. The workers are dressed in bib overalls and dungarees, their attire reflecting the practicality required for laborious farm work. Despite their worn clothing and tired expressions, there is an undeniable resilience emanating from each face. Lange's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the beauty of nature surrounding them and the harsh realities they faced daily. The vast countryside serves as a backdrop for these determined souls who relied on agriculture for survival during challenging times. As part of her documentation efforts under government programs such as Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), Lange captured not only portraits but also stories of poverty-stricken Americans across the country. Through her lens, she shed light on social issues that demanded attention and change. This remarkable photograph stands as a testament to Lange's ability to capture raw emotions within everyday scenes. It reminds us of our shared heritage and serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity, human spirit endures.
