EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captured by Dorothea Lange in 1939 showcases the humble yet enduring beauty of a farmhouse located in Person County, North Carolina. The image reveals a house with an interesting history - its one-and-a-half story section was constructed half a century ago, while the two-story addition was added in 1900. The farm on which this house stands is owned by a resilient woman who has shouldered the responsibilities alone since her husband's passing seventeen years prior. In the backdrop of the Great Depression, this widow demonstrates strength and determination as she manages her household and tends to her land. Lange's lens transports us to rural America during a time of economic hardship, where families like these faced immense challenges to make ends meet. The laundry hanging outside suggests domesticity amidst adversity, while children playing nearby remind us that life goes on even in times of struggle. Through this photograph, Lange captures not only architectural details but also conveys profound stories about resilience and perseverance. Her work for the Farm Security Administration documented American life during challenging times and became iconic representations of an era marked by poverty and social change. As we gaze upon this evocative image from our past, we are reminded of both the hardships endured by those who came before us and their unwavering spirit that carried them through difficult times.
