EDITORS COMMENTS
Carrot Pullers from Texas, 1937: A poignant snapshot of the Great Depression era by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange. This image captures the desperation and hardship faced by a Texas farming couple during their two-week stint in a California carrot field. Having been displaced from their home by three years of crop failures, they earn a meager combined income of one dollar and twelve cents a day. The man, with a determined look in his eyes, stands at the edge of the carrot field, ready to begin another day of back-breaking labor. His wife, wearing a worn-out dress and a tired expression, ties the harvested carrots in bundles. The image is a stark reminder of the economic displacement and forced migration that characterized the Great Depression era in America. Dorothea Lange, through her powerful imagery, captured the plight of the common man and brought attention to the pressing issues of employment and farm security during this challenging time in American history. This photograph, titled 'Carrot pullers from Texas,' is a testament to the resilience and determination of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
