EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures a family's struggle in North Carolina during the summer of 1939. The image showcases a father, crippled with rheumatism, surrounded by his wife and children. Despite their hardships, the family stands together against poverty and adversity. The man's physical condition is evident as he sits on an exterior porch, his face etched with pain. His wife stands beside him, her expression filled with concern and determination to support her husband through this difficult time. Their two children - a barefoot boy and a girl - stand close by, displaying both innocence and resilience in their young faces. Dorothea Lange masterfully captured this moment of vulnerability amidst the Southeastern landscape. Her lens reveals not only the harsh reality faced by many families during that era but also highlights their unwavering strength to endure. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the challenges faced by countless families across America during the Great Depression. It invites us to reflect on our own privileges while acknowledging those who have persevered through unimaginable circumstances. Granger Art on Demand presents this historical print from 1939 as an opportunity for viewers to connect with our shared past and appreciate the resilience displayed within one North Carolina family's story.
