EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1936, captures the Administration building at the Hot Springs federal shelter in California during the Great Depression. The shelter was one of five federal camps established to accommodate homeless men in the state, with an enrollment of three hundred seventy-five men at the time this image was taken. However, the number of residents had decreased to one hundred fifty-seven by the time of the photograph, with an average age of fifty and all physically disabled, making them incapable of performing manual or project work. The Administration building served as the hub of the camp, housing offices and providing essential services for the residents. The image shows the building's stark and imposing exterior, with a desolate landscape in the background. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the economic hardships faced by Americans during the Great Depression and the desperate need for government intervention to provide shelter and support for the most vulnerable members of society. Dorothea Lange, a pioneering figure in documentary photography, captured this image as part of her work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and the Office of War Information (OWI). Her powerful and evocative images helped to raise awareness of the plight of the homeless and the destitute during this period. This photograph is now part of the collections of the Library of Congress and is a testament to the enduring legacy of Dorothea Lange's work in documenting the social and economic history of America during the 20th century.
