EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Dorothea Lange captures a moment in time near Millville, New Jersey in 1936. The image shows cherry pickers hard at work harvesting the cherry crop, with local families coming together to gather the fruit from the trees. Men, women, and children can be seen working side by side in the fields, showcasing the collective effort required for agricultural labor during this era.
The black and white composition adds a sense of nostalgia and historical significance to the scene. The stark contrast between light and shadow highlights the intensity of manual labor involved in farming during the Great Depression. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of America's agricultural heritage and the economic challenges faced by rural communities during this period.
Dorothea Lange's keen eye for capturing human emotion is evident in this image, as she documents not only the physical act of harvesting cherries but also conveys a deeper story about family bonds, hard work, and resilience in the face of adversity. Through her lens, Lange immortalizes these farm workers' dedication to their craft and their determination to provide for their loved ones amidst challenging circumstances.
