EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Mexican woman entering the United States. United States immigration station, El Paso, Texas," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in the late 1930s. The image offers a poignant glimpse into the human experience of immigration during a pivotal moment in American history. El Paso, Texas, served as a major border crossing during the Great Depression, with thousands of people, primarily from Mexico, seeking employment opportunities and a better life in the United States. In this photograph, a Mexican woman, dressed in traditional clothing, is seen crossing the bridge that separates Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico, from El Paso, Texas. The woman wears a simple, worn dress and a colorful shawl, her expression one of determination and resilience. The United States immigration station looms in the background, a stark reminder of the bureaucratic process that awaited her. The signs and structures of the station, including the "No Trespassing" and "No Loitering" signs, emphasize the formal and regimented nature of the border crossing. The photograph was taken during a time when the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and the Office of War Information (OWI) employed Lange and Russell Lee to document the social and economic conditions of the era. This powerful image captures the essence of the human spirit and the challenges faced by immigrants during the Great Depression. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Dorothea Lange's work and the important role that photography plays in preserving historical records.
