EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1937, captures the desolate scene of Careyville, a once-thriving timber community in northern Florida. The mill in Careyville had closed down on January 1, 1937, leaving the occupants of these houses without employment and forcing them to disperse. The image portrays a row of abandoned, dilapidated houses, their porches and verandas weathered and worn, reflecting the harsh realities of the Great Depression. The houses, now derelict and deserted, stand as a testament to the economic hardships of the era. Dorothea Lange, a photographer for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and later the Office of War Information (OWI), captured this poignant moment in American history, providing a glimpse into the rural, rustic life of the United States during the 1930s. The image, a nitrate negative, is a powerful reminder of the impact of the Depression on small, rural communities and the resilience of the American people in the face of adversity.
