EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures the harsh reality of poverty during the Great Depression in America. Taken by Carl Mydans in March 1936, it portrays a seventeen-year-old boy who belongs to a family of eleven. Their living conditions are unimaginable, as they reside in a one-room shelter constructed on the chassis of an abandoned Ford truck. This makeshift dwelling is situated in an open field along U. S. Route 70 between Camden and Bruceton, Tennessee. The teenager's worn-out denim overalls and somber expression reflect the hardships he endures daily. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the devastating impact that economic downturns can have on individuals and families alike. Mydans' photograph was taken during a time when President Roosevelt's New Deal initiatives were attempting to alleviate poverty and unemployment across the nation. However, this young boy remains unidentified, symbolizing countless others who struggled silently amidst rural Southeastern communities. As we observe this print from Granger Art on Demand, let us not forget those who suffered through these challenging times. It serves as both a historical document and a call for empathy towards those facing similar struggles today.
