Yardmen, Grand Island, Nebraska, 1939
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a poignant moment in American history through the lens of renowned photographer Dorothea Lange. In this photograph, we are transported to the heartland of America during the Great Depression. The image showcases two men dressed in bib overalls, commonly known as dungarees at that time. These yardmen epitomize hard work and resilience in an era marked by economic hardship. With their denim attire and worn-out clothing, they represent the working class striving to make ends meet. Lange's composition allows us to witness a scene of diligent checking by one of the men while his companion stands nearby. The railway tracks behind them symbolize connectivity and progress amidst challenging times. Their occupation as mechanics or railway workers reflects their contribution to building America's infrastructure during this period. As part of Lange's extensive documentation for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), this photograph serves as a historical record capturing not only individual lives but also broader socio-economic conditions prevalent across rural America. Preserved within the Library of Congress' collection, this print is a testament to Lange's talent for capturing human emotion and telling stories through her camera lens. It reminds us of our shared heritage and serves as a reminder that even in difficult times, there is strength in unity and determination on which nations are built upon.
