EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken by Dorothea Lange in 1939, we are transported to the Myers farm near Outlook, Yakima County, Washington. The image features a hired man amidst the backdrop of rural America during the Great Depression. Clad in traditional work attire, he stands tall with a sense of resilience and determination etched on his face. The presence of horses further emphasizes the agricultural nature of his job as a labourer on the farm. His worn-out hat and pipe add an air of authenticity to this poignant portrait, capturing both the hardships faced by those living through economic recession and their unwavering spirit. Lange's masterful composition not only showcases her talent for capturing human emotion but also serves as a historical document that sheds light on life during one of America's darkest periods. Through her lens, she immortalizes not just an individual but also an entire generation marked by poverty and struggle. This powerful image is part of Lange's extensive body of work commissioned by government agencies such as Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI). It serves as a reminder that even in times of adversity, there is strength to be found within individuals who persevere against all odds. As we gaze upon this print from Heritage Images, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the resilience and dignity embodied by ordinary people facing extraordinary circumstances.
