EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1937, depicts a group of California pea pickers making their way back to their makeshift camp after a long day of labor. The scene unfolds near Santa Clara, California, during the Great Depression, a time of widespread economic hardship and displacement. The image poignantly conveys the harsh realities of farm life during this era, with the tired and weathered faces of the adults and the innocent, curious expressions of the children. The flatbed truck, piled high with sacks of harvested peas, serves as a reminder of the arduous work that lies ahead for these laborers. The image is a poignant testament to the resilience and determination of the human spirit in the face of adversity. Dorothea Lange, a pioneering figure in documentary photography, captured this moment in history with her unflinching and compassionate lens, providing a powerful visual record of a pivotal period in American history.
