EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Resettled farm child from Taos Junction to Bosque Farms project, New Mexico, 1935," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange during the Great Depression era. The image poignantly depicts the displacement and hardships faced by rural families during this period, as they were forced to leave their homes and relocate due to economic instability. The photograph shows a young girl, likely a displaced person, sitting inside a makeshift home made of corrugated iron. The interior is sparsely furnished, with a fireplace and a few personal belongings. The girl's expression is one of sadness and resignation, as she looks off into the distance, perhaps thinking of the life she left behind. The photograph is part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) collection, a New Deal agency established to provide relief to rural areas affected by the Great Depression. Lange, who worked for the FSA, documented the lives of displaced farmers and their families, shedding light on the harsh realities of the time. The image is a powerful reminder of the human cost of economic upheaval and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. It is a testament to the importance of preserving historical records and the role they play in shaping our understanding of the past.
