EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "El Monte federal subsistence housing, California, 1936," captures the stark reality of the Great Depression era in the United States. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange, the image shows a three-room house in El Monte, California, where the rent was seventeen dollars and seventy cents. The father of the family is identified as a carpenter. During the 1930s, agricultural workers, such as farmhands and farm laborers, were among the hardest hit by the economic downturn. The Farm Security Administration (FSA), a New Deal agency, was established to provide relief to rural families like this one. The FSA built subsistence homes, like the one depicted in the photograph, to provide temporary shelter for those in need. The houses were simple, with basic amenities, and were intended to be affordable for the families who lived in them. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by Americans during the Great Depression. The father, dressed in work clothes, stands outside the house, looking weary and worn. Inside, the interior of the home is sparsely furnished, with a few pieces of furniture and personal belongings. The image conveys a sense of resilience and determination in the face of adversity. Dorothea Lange, a pioneering documentary photographer, captured this moment in history with sensitivity and compassion. Her photograph is a valuable heritage art piece that provides insight into the living conditions of agricultural workers during the Great Depression and the efforts made by the government to provide relief to those in need.
