EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken by Dorothea Lange in Van Horn, Texas, during the 1930s, a Texas cattleman is distinguished not only by his weathered face and rugged demeanor, but also by the type of boot he wears. The cowboy boot, a symbol of the American West and rural heritage, is a crucial element of his attire, reflecting his occupation and connection to the land. The man's Stetson hat and simple work clothes further emphasize his role as a farmer or rancher, living through the challenging economic times of the Great Depression. The photograph was taken during a period of significant change in American society. The automobile industry was growing, and cars like the AC Ltd model visible in the background were becoming more common. Yet, this image captures the enduring tradition of rural life and the resilience of those who worked the land. The photograph was taken during Lange's tenure with the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and later the Office of War Information (OWI), where she documented the lives of Americans during the Great Depression and World War II. Lange's powerful and emotive images continue to be an important part of American history and our cultural heritage.
