EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'Migrant agricultural workers' home, California, 1937' by Dorothea Lange, captures the harsh realities of the Great Depression era in America. Taken during the 1930s, the image portrays a makeshift shelter built behind an advertising hoarding in California. The billboard, bearing the slogan 'Cyanogas - The Real Hopper Control,' serves as a stark contrast to the dilapidated living conditions of the migrant workers. The scene is a poignant reminder of the forced displacement and migration that occurred during this period due to economic hardships. The image depicts a family huddled together in a cramped and makeshift dwelling, with children playing nearby. The grassy ground is dotted with small houses, each one a testament to the desperate situation of the people living there. The photograph was taken during Lange's tenure with the Farm Security Administration (FSA), an agency established to provide relief to rural areas affected by the Great Depression. Lange's work during this time, including this image, brought attention to the plight of the migrant workers and helped to raise awareness about their living conditions. The use of a nitrate negative adds to the image's historical significance, as this photographic process was commonly used during the 20th century. The image has been preserved in the Heritage Art collection and continues to be an important part of American history, shedding light on a period of forced migration and economic displacement that shaped the country's social fabric.
