EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures a snapshot of life during the Great Depression in 1937. Titled "Farmer and Son, 1937" the image portrays a farmer and his young son at their home in Crosby, North Dakota. The backdrop of this powerful scene is set against the harsh reality of a drought year, as indicated by the caption. Taken by renowned photographer Russell Lee in November 1937, this photograph offers a glimpse into the struggles faced by families during that era. Poverty is evident within the humble farmhouse interior where they reside. Despite their circumstances, there is an air of resilience as father and son are depicted together. The composition showcases various elements that reflect both early American life and technological advancements for its time. A radio set sits prominently on a table nearby while a guitar leans against it – symbols of entertainment amidst hardship. A rocking chair stands nearby, perhaps offering solace to weary souls after long days working on arid fields. This image not only serves as documentation but also evokes empathy for those who endured challenging times during one of America's darkest periods. It reminds us of the strength found within family bonds even when facing adversity.
