MOTHER AND CHILD, 1939
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a poignant moment in American history. In this powerful photograph by Dorothea Lange, taken in September 1939, we witness the arrival of an impoverished family from Oklahoma at a migrant workers camp in Tulelake, Siskiyou County, California. The image portrays the harsh realities faced by many during the Great Depression. The mother and child stand together amidst their worn-out surroundings. Their tired faces reflect the hardships they have endured on their journey to find work and stability. The daughter clings onto her mother's side, seeking solace and protection in uncertain times. Lange's composition draws attention to the details that speak volumes about this struggling family's life. A bottle of Coca-Cola sits on top of their car—an emblem of hope or perhaps a small luxury amidst poverty. The dirty exterior of their vehicle tells a story of long travels across rough roads. This photograph serves as a reminder of the resilience and determination displayed by countless families during one of America's most challenging eras. It is through images like these that we gain insight into our shared history and are compelled to reflect upon how far we've come as a society. As part of Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, "MOTHER AND CHILD, 1939" offers us an opportunity to connect with our past while appreciating the strides made towards social progress since then.
