EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Rural rehabilitation, Tulare County, California," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in November 1938. The image portrays a resilient farm couple, who in February 1936, found themselves in dire circumstances, renting a neglected forty-acre farm in California's Tulare County. With no equipment, no livestock, no seed, and no money, they were granted a loan of $1,261 by the Farm Security Administration (FSA) to cover these essentials, as well as four months of subsistence for their family. Three years later, the couple's determination and hard work have paid off, as they now stand proudly before a successful and diversified farm. Their farm boasts a thriving vineyard, as well as cattle, hogs, and pigs. The image captures the essence of the New Deal's Farm Security Administration program, which aimed to provide economic assistance and support to struggling farmers during the Great Depression. The photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of these hardworking individuals, who, through perseverance and the help of government programs, were able to rebuild their livelihoods and secure a brighter future for their family. The couple's expressions convey a sense of pride and accomplishment, as they stand before their thriving farm, surrounded by their animals and the beautiful California countryside.
