EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Itinerant Worker, Fort Worth, Texas," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1936 during the Great Depression. The image is part of Lange's extensive body of work produced for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and the Office of War Information (OWI). The man in the photograph, with his worn luggage and weary expression, embodies the harsh realities of the era's economic downturn. The image is a poignant reminder of the millions of itinerant workers who traveled from place to place in search of employment during the Great Depression. Lange's masterful use of light and shadow, as well as her ability to capture the human spirit in the face of adversity, make this photograph a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit. The photograph is a nitrate negative, which was a common format for photographic film during the 20th century. The image is now part of the prestigious collections of the Library of Congress, a national treasure that preserves the heritage and history of the United States.
