EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Toilet facilities at Westley camp, California," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in the late 1930s during the Great Depression. The image is part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) collection, which documented the living conditions of rural and agricultural communities affected by the economic crisis. The photograph depicts a simple wooden toilet facility located outside in a camp setting. A water tower looms in the background, supplying water to the makeshift lavatories. The image conveys a sense of isolation and hardship, as the wooden structures appear worn and weathered, reflecting the challenging conditions faced by those living in the camp. Dorothea Lange, born Dorothea Margaretta Nutzhorn, was a pioneering American photographer known for her documentation of the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl. Her work was later utilized by the Office of War Information (OWI) during World War II to promote government propaganda. This photograph, along with many others, is now part of the vast collection at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the harsh realities faced by many Americans during the Great Depression, and the importance of adequate sanitation and water supply in ensuring public health and well-being.
