EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1938, captures the essence of rural rehabilitation during the Great Depression in Tulare County, California. The image shows a farm family in the midst of their self-sufficient lifestyle, with their FSA (Farm Security Administration) supervisor overseeing their progress. The family's cupboard and pantry are brimming with jars and bottles of preserved food, evidence of their hard work and resilience in the face of economic hardship. The Farm Security Administration, established in 1935, was a New Deal agency aimed at providing relief and rehabilitation to rural communities affected by the Great Depression. Dorothea Lange, a prominent photographer for the FSA, documented the lives of these families as they worked to become self-sufficient and get back on their feet. This photograph, titled "Rural rehabilitation under farm plan of the Farm Security Administration supervisor," is a poignant reminder of the struggles and triumphs of these families as they worked to produce their own food and reduce their dependence on relief. The image also speaks to the spirit of self-sufficiency and preservation that characterized the era. The family's store room, filled with jars and bottles of preserved food, is a testament to their resourcefulness and their determination to make the most of their limited resources. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the importance of community support and government aid in times of economic hardship, and a testament to the resilience and determination of the American people.
