EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Sign at bridge between Juarez, Mexico and El Paso, Texas," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in the 1930s. The image portrays a weathered sign hanging over the international border, bearing the stern warning of the United States Department of Agriculture's plant quarantine regulations. The regulations prohibited the entry of plants, fruits, and vegetables from Mexico, regardless of their origin, without a permit from the Department. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the economic hardships experienced during the Great Depression and the stringent measures taken by the government to protect American agriculture. Dorothea Lange, a key figure in the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and later the Office of War Information (OWI), documented the social and economic realities of the time through her evocative imagery. The sign, framed against the backdrop of the arid desert landscape, serves as a visual representation of the border as a frontier, where the flow of goods and people was subject to strict control. The forbidden fruits and vegetables, tantalizingly out of reach, symbolize the limitations and challenges faced by individuals and communities during this period. The photograph, captured on nitrate negative film, is a valuable heritage art piece that offers a glimpse into the past and the complexities of the interconnected issues of economics, government, and nature during the 1930s in the United States.
