EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1937, captures a sign on the road entering Riverside County, California. The sign bears a stern warning for all travelers: "Warning; all trees, plants, shrubs, vines, or orchard appliances must be inspected before delivery in this county." During the 1930s, the Great Depression had left many Americans struggling to make ends meet. In an effort to prevent the spread of plant diseases and pests, California enacted strict quarantine laws to protect its agricultural industry. This sign marks the border of Riverside County, where such inspections were mandatory. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the economic hardships faced by farmers during this period. The lettering on the sign is clear and authoritative, conveying the seriousness of the situation. The image is also a testament to the resilience of the American spirit, as farmers and travelers alike complied with the regulations to ensure the health of the state's valuable crops. Dorothea Lange, a photographer for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), captured this image as part of her work documenting the effects of the Depression on rural America. Her photograph is a valuable historical record of a time when the nation was grappling with economic uncertainty and the need to protect its agricultural resources. This image is a nitrate negative, a photographic process that was commonly used in the 20th century. It is part of the Dorothea Lange Collection held by the Office of War Information (OWI) and is a testament to the important role that photography played in recording history.
