EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Rural rehabilitation, Tulare County, California," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1938. The image presents a scene of simple yet resilient self-sufficiency, as a family proudly displays their meager yet hard-earned provisions in their humble kitchen. The family had previously relied on government assistance during the Great Depression but had since managed to establish a small farm, with a weekly food budget of just two dollars and fifty cents for a family of seven. The heart of the scene is a worn cupboard, its wooden shelves lined with jars and bottles filled with preserved fruits, vegetables, and nuts. Onions and pumpkins sit atop the counter, adding to the abundant harvest. The family's determination and resourcefulness are evident in the carefully arranged provisions, which speak to their commitment to making the most of their limited resources. Dorothea Lange, a pioneering figure in documentary photography, captured this image as part of her work with the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and later the Office of War Information (OWI). Her powerful and empathetic images of the Great Depression era continue to resonate, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the enduring human spirit and resilience in the face of adversity.
