EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures the resilience and struggle of a migrant worker during the Great Depression in 1936. The image showcases a man, identified as a drought refugee from Polk, Missouri, patiently awaiting the opening of orange picking season at Porterville, California. Dressed in worn denim overalls and a cap, he sits on an old automobile seat with an air of determination etched on his face. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in November 1936, this portrait is part of her iconic series documenting the hardships faced by Americans during this era. The starkness of poverty and displacement is evident in every detail - from the man's weathered appearance to his humble surroundings. Lange's lens captures not only one individual but also represents countless others who were forced to migrate westward in search of work and survival. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the impact that economic downturns can have on working-class communities. The Granger Collection presents this historical print without any commercial intentions but rather aims to preserve and honor our shared history. It invites viewers to reflect upon the struggles faced by those affected by migration, poverty, and unemployment during one of America's most challenging times – offering us an opportunity for empathy and understanding.
