The image showcases a man diligently working on a tobacco field in Shoofly, North Carolina. With his bib overalls and dungarees, he epitomizes the hardworking spirit that defined this era. Lange's lens captures not only the man but also his trusty companion – a mule standing faithfully beside him. Together they navigate through rows of tobacco plants as they prepare for another day of laborious work. The scene is reminiscent of an agricultural landscape frozen in time. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of the economic hardships faced by many during the Great Depression.
