EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Farmworkers' Homes, Glendale, Arizona," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1936. The image is a poignant depiction of the living conditions of farmworkers during the Great Depression in the United States. The photograph shows a row of dilapidated bungalows, their weathered exteriors bearing testament to the hardships endured by those who toiled in the countryside. The homes, located in Glendale, Arizona, were likely part of the makeshift settlements that sprung up to house migrant farm laborers during this period. The image is a powerful reminder of the economic struggles and rural poverty that characterized the 1930s in America. Dorothea Lange, a pioneering figure in documentary photography, captured this image as part of her work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), a New Deal agency established to provide relief to rural communities affected by the Great Depression. The photograph was also distributed by the Office of War Information (OWI), a government agency responsible for producing and disseminating propaganda during World War II. Lange's work during this period, including this image, is now considered a seminal contribution to the genre of documentary photography and a testament to the power of the medium to capture and convey the human condition. The photograph is a nitrate negative, a type of photographic film that was commonly used in the 20th century but is now considered obsolete due to its flammability and instability. The image is held in the collections of the Library of Congress, a repository of American heritage and culture, and is a valuable addition to the historical record of the Great Depression and the rural life of America during this period.
