EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1936, captures a scene from the Resettlement project located near Gainesville, Georgia during the Great Depression. The Resettlement Administration, a New Deal agency established to provide relief to rural families, sponsored this project to help farmers and their families by providing them with better living conditions and employment opportunities. In this image, we see a signpost pointing the way to the Resettlement project entrance, surrounded by the lush, rustic countryside. Trees and plants dot the landscape, adding to the sense of nature and tranquility. The forest in the background provides a stark contrast to the more rustic, rural life being lived by the residents of the project. The photograph was taken during a time of economic hardship and migration, with many Americans leaving their homes in search of work and better opportunities. The Resettlement project offered a chance for a fresh start, providing not only shelter but also the means to sustain a livelihood. Dorothea Lange, a pioneering figure in documentary photography, captured this moment in history with her camera, preserving it for future generations to learn from and appreciate. The photograph is a testament to the resilience and determination of the human spirit, even in the face of adversity. This image is part of the Dorothea Lange Collection held at the Library of Congress, and was taken using a nitrate negative. It is a valuable piece of American heritage, showcasing the regionalism and social issues of the 1930s.
