EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Cotton pickers bringing in their pick to be weighed," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in the San Joaquin Valley of California during the Great Depression in 1936. The image depicts a group of cotton pickers, mostly men, standing in a dusty field with their sacks filled to capacity, eagerly awaiting to have their harvest weighed. The scene is a poignant reminder of the arduous labor and economic struggles faced by agricultural workers during this era. The photograph was taken during Lange's tenure with the Farm Security Administration (FSA), a New Deal agency that aimed to provide relief to rural communities affected by the Great Depression. Lange's powerful imagery served to bring attention to the plight of these farm laborers, who were paid meager wages of one dollar and fifteen cents per hundred pounds of cotton picked. The image is a testament to the resilience and determination of these workers, who labored under the hot sun, often in harsh conditions, to provide for their families. The cotton sacks, which appear heavy and cumbersome, represent the tangible fruits of their labor. The background of the image, with its seemingly endless rows of cotton fields and barren trees, underscores the vastness of the agricultural landscape and the isolation of the workers' existence. The photograph is a valuable historical artifact, offering a glimpse into a bygone era and shedding light on the economic and social realities of rural America during the Great Depression. Lange's masterful composition and her ability to capture the human spirit in the face of adversity make this image a timeless classic in the annals of American photography.
