EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in Crossville, Tennessee, during the 1930s, we see a candid moment between General Walter Faulkner, a local candidate for congress, and a Tennessee farmer. The image, which captures the essence of the Great Depression era, was produced by the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and later distributed by the Office of War Information (OWI). The scene is set in a rural environment, with the farmer, dressed in work clothes and wearing a hat, standing next to a table displaying campaign materials. General Faulkner, wearing a formal suit and holding a pitchfork, is engaged in a conversation with the farmer, likely discussing the economic challenges of the time and the potential solutions his campaign offers. The use of props, such as the pitchfork and the forks on the table, underscores the agricultural background of the setting and the importance of farming in the community. The photograph is a powerful representation of the human connection between a political figure and the people he seeks to represent. It encapsulates the spirit of the time, with both the candidate and the farmer dressed in clothing that reflects their respective roles and circumstances. The image also serves as a testament to Dorothea Lange's ability to capture the essence of a moment and the stories of everyday people during a pivotal period in American history.
