EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1937, captures a scene at the border inspection between Mexico and the United States in El Paso, Texas. The image shows a US Department of Agriculture inspector carefully examining the contents of a shopper's package as she returns from Juarez, Mexico, over the bridge that connects the two countries. The inspection was a crucial measure to prevent the introduction of harmful plants and pests into the United States. The Great Depression had a significant impact on the economy, and people were seen crossing the border to purchase affordable goods. The photograph depicts a female shopper, accompanied by a young boy, who is also being inspected. The inspector, a man in a government office, is focused on his task, while the family waits patiently. The scene illustrates the daily life on the border during this era, where the flow of people and goods was closely monitored. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the historical significance of border inspections and the role they play in protecting the agricultural industry and the economy. Dorothea Lange, a pioneering figure in documentary photography, captured this moment with precision and sensitivity, providing a glimpse into the past and offering a valuable historical record.
