EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures a moment frozen in time during the Great Depression era in America. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange, the image showcases a young migrant boy and his family residing in a growers camp near Grants Pass, Josephine County, Oregon in 1939. The boy stands barefoot with his dog by his side, both embodying resilience amidst hardship. Clad in bib overalls, their clothing reflects the simplicity of their lives as they navigate through economic struggles. The photograph portrays not only the physical displacement experienced by this family but also highlights the emotional toll that forced migration can have on individuals. Lange's composition skillfully captures the full length of their bodies against a backdrop of rural surroundings. Despite their circumstances, there is an undeniable sense of happiness radiating from them – perhaps finding solace within each other's company or cherishing moments of joy amid adversity. As we gaze at this powerful image today, it serves as a reminder of our shared heritage and history. Preserved within the archives of the Library of Congress' Farm Security Administration collection, Lange's work continues to evoke empathy and understanding for those who endured immense challenges during one of America's darkest periods.
