EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1938, captures the harsh realities of migratory cotton picking families during the Great Depression in Kern County, California. The image portrays a mother and her children huddled in the dimly lit corner of an abandoned cow barn. The family, originally from Oklahoma, appears to have made this cramped and makeshift space their temporary home. The scene is filled with stark contrasts: the worn-out cardboard boxes and ammonium sulphate sacks serve as makeshift furniture, while the domestic appliance, a lonely and out-of-place reminder of a more stable life, sits in the foreground. The family's meager belongings are scattered around the room, and the children seem to be huddled together for warmth and comfort. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the living conditions of agricultural workers during this period, who played a crucial role in producing the crops that sustained the nation. The image is a testament to the resilience and determination of these families, who despite their hardships, continued to work in the fields to provide for themselves and their loved ones. The photograph, titled "Family of Migratory Cotton Pickers, Originally from Oklahoma, Living in Abandoned Cow Barn. Note Bed in Corner," is a powerful and enduring image from Dorothea Lange's body of work, which documents the social and economic conditions of the time. It is a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by many families during the Great Depression and the importance of addressing the housing and living conditions of agricultural workers.
