EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Tenant Purchase Applicants, Stockton, California," was taken by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in the 1930s during the Great Depression. The image captures a poignant moment in the lives of two applicants, a man and a woman, as they sit at a table in a makeshift office, filled with papers and forms, seeking assistance from the Farm Security Administration (FSA). The couple, both dressed in simple work clothes, appear weary and anxious, their expressions reflecting the economic hardships of the time. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by agricultural workers during the Great Depression, particularly in rural areas like Stockton, California. The FSA, an agency of the Department of Agriculture, was established to provide relief and support to farmers and farm laborers affected by the economic downturn. The couple's application for a tenant purchase loan, which would allow them to buy the land they were working on and become farmers themselves, is a testament to their determination and resilience in the face of adversity. The photograph is a powerful visual representation of the economic and social conditions of the time, and a reminder of the government's role in providing aid and support to those in need.
