EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Dorothea Lange captures the essence of large-scale agriculture in Kern County, California in 1939. The image showcases a vast expanse of farmland stretching alongside U.S. 99, with a prominent sign reading 'Sorensen & Claflin - White Potatoes'.
Lange's keen eye for detail and composition brings to life the stark reality of American farming during the Great Depression era. The rows upon rows of potato plants symbolize the hard work and dedication of farmers striving to make ends meet during challenging economic times.
The photograph not only serves as a historical document but also as a poignant reminder of the resilience and determination exhibited by individuals working in agriculture. It is a testament to the importance of this industry in shaping America's landscape and economy.
Through her lens, Lange captures both the beauty and harshness of farm life, shedding light on the struggles faced by those trying to survive amidst economic hardship. This image stands as a powerful representation of an important chapter in American history, preserved for future generations to reflect upon.
