EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1937, captures an inspection station on the California-Arizona state line. The station, maintained by the California Department of Agriculture, served as a crucial checkpoint to prevent the spread of plant pests between the two states. The image shows an inspector diligently examining a man's clothing and apparel, including a dress worn by a woman, to ensure they were free of contamination. The inspector, dressed in a pith helmet and wearing a government-issued uniform, checks the man's dress shirt and trousers with great care. The inspection station was a vital part of the agricultural economy during the Great Depression, as the spread of plant pests could have devastating consequences for farmers and the rural communities that depended on agriculture for their livelihoods. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of government agencies in protecting the natural resources and economic well-being of the country during challenging times. Taken during the 1930s, this image is a significant piece of American heritage, showcasing the concept of border control, occupation, and the impact of the Great Depression on rural communities.
