EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Cotton Picker, San Joaquin Valley, California," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1936. The image presents a poignant depiction of the harsh realities of agricultural labor during the Great Depression in the United States. The photograph shows a lone cotton picker, identified only as a "guy," laboring in a sun-scorched field in the San Joaquin Valley of California. He is bent over, carrying a full cotton sack on his back, his face obscured by the brim of his hat, and his expression conveying a sense of exhaustion and determination. The heavy burden of the sack, the weight of the task at hand, and the vast expanse of the sun-parched fields behind him serve as stark reminders of the arduous nature of farm labor during this period. The photograph is a testament to the resilience and perseverance of the American agricultural workforce during the Great Depression. It was taken as part of the Farm Security Administration's (FSA) efforts to document the living and working conditions of rural communities and provide relief to those in need. Dorothea Lange, a pioneering figure in documentary photography, captured this image as part of her extensive body of work that brought attention to the plight of the American people during this challenging time. Today, "Cotton Picker, San Joaquin Valley, California" stands as an enduring symbol of the human spirit and the importance of documenting the stories of those who have shaped our nation's history. The photograph is a valuable addition to the Library of Congress's collections and serves as a reminder of the rich agricultural heritage of the United States.
