This snapshot offers us a glimpse into the daily life and struggles faced by American farmers during the early years of the Great Depression. The composition showcases the resilience and determination of this hardworking man as he labors under an unforgiving sun. With his weathered face and calloused hands gripping tightly onto the plow, it is evident that every furrow etched into the soil represents his unwavering commitment to providing for himself and his family. Lee's photograph serves as a poignant reminder of both the hardships endured by those living in rural America during this era, as well as their unyielding spirit. It also highlights how essential agriculture was to sustaining communities amidst economic turmoil.
