EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, transports us to the rural landscapes of Person County, North Carolina. The image features two young farm boys who are natives of this picturesque region. Clad in simple attire that reflects the economic hardships of the era, these resilient children stand as a testament to the challenges faced during the Great Depression. Their clothing, adorned with braces and caps, speaks volumes about their humble upbringing and connection to their agricultural heritage. As they pose against an outdoor backdrop, we catch a glimpse into their lives amidst the countryside. Lange's masterful composition captures not only their physical presence but also hints at the weight of responsibility carried by these young individuals. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of America's past struggles while simultaneously celebrating its enduring spirit. Through her lens, Lange immortalizes these boys' resilience and determination in facing adversity head-on. This powerful portrait is part of Lange's extensive body of work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) during this period—a collection that has become iconic for documenting American life during one of its most challenging chapters. As we gaze upon this evocative image from our nation's history, it prompts reflection on how far we have come since those difficult times while urging us to remember those who persevered through poverty and recession.
