EDITORS COMMENTS
Cherry pickers near Millville, New Jersey, 1936: A poignant image captured by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange during the Great Depression era. This photograph portrays a scene of local families, men, women, and children diligently harvesting cherries from the laden trees. The image is a testament to the resilience and determination of the American people during an economically challenging time. The cherry crop, a valuable agricultural commodity, is being picked by hand, with the pickers using ladders to reach the ripe fruit high up in the trees. The photograph was taken during the era of the Farm Security Administration (FSA), a New Deal agency that aimed to provide relief to rural communities affected by the Great Depression. The image captures the essence of rural life during this period, with the pickers dressed in simple work clothes, their faces etched with the hardships of labor. The cherry trees, in full bloom against the clear blue sky, provide a stark contrast to the stark reality of the economic conditions of the time. This image is a powerful reminder of the importance of community, hard work, and the natural beauty of the American countryside during a time of great economic hardship. Dorothea Lange's masterful use of light and composition adds depth and emotion to the image, making it a timeless piece of American heritage.
