EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captured by Dorothea Lange in 1939 depicts a white sharecropper and wage laborer diligently priming tobacco early in the morning. The image was taken in Granville County, North Carolina, during the Great Depression era. The man's weathered face reflects the hardships he has endured as he toils away in the fields. Lange's lens transports us to a time when agriculture played a vital role in American society. In this rural setting, we witness the symbiotic relationship between man and mule as they work together to harvest crops. The presence of these animals adds an authentic touch to this snapshot of life on a farm. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the economic struggles faced by many during that era. It symbolizes both poverty and resilience, capturing the essence of America's agricultural heritage amidst challenging times. Dorothea Lange was renowned for her ability to capture raw human emotion through her lens. Her work with the Farm Security Administration documented not only individuals but also shed light on larger social issues prevalent at that time. Preserved within the Library of Congress' collection, this print is a testament to Lange's talent for storytelling through photography. It continues to serve as an important historical artifact, allowing us insight into an era marked by hardship and perseverance.
