EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, transports us to Granville County, North Carolina during a time of economic hardship - the Great Depression. The image showcases the laborious task of stringing tobacco, an essential agricultural practice that sustained many families in rural America. In this snapshot of history, we witness a man diligently at work amidst the picturesque countryside. Clad in bib overalls and dungarees, he epitomizes the resilience and determination of those who relied on farming for their livelihoods. Notably, Lange captures an ingenious technique employed by these farmers - using horses to hold the sticks while stringing tobacco. The composition exudes a sense of simplicity and rustic charm as it highlights both man's connection with nature and his struggle against poverty. Every detail is meticulously preserved in this monochromatic masterpiece; from the texture of clothing to the lines etched on weathered faces. Lange's lens not only documents a specific moment but also serves as a poignant reminder of an era marked by economic recession and regionalism. Through her lens, she immortalizes not just one individual but represents countless others whose lives were shaped by agriculture during this challenging period. Preserved within the archives of The Library of Congress' Farm Security Administration collection, this photograph stands as a testament to Dorothea Lange's ability to capture raw emotions through her artistry. It invites viewers into an intimate dialogue with history itself – urging us to reflect upon our past while contemplating our present circumstances.
