EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the harsh realities of life during the Great Depression in America. The image, taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, depicts a sick child named Merrill in Klamath County, Oregon. Merrill's father had brought his family from Texas to the west five months prior, seeking better opportunities. The photograph was taken after supper inside their cramped mobile unit at an FSA camp. The boy lies on a bed, visibly unwell and vulnerable amidst the challenging living conditions. His father can be seen standing nearby, burdened with worries but compelled to work in the potato fields to support his family. Lange's composition evokes a sense of despair and hardship that characterized this era of economic recession. Through her lens, she captured not only individual suffering but also shed light on broader issues such as housing conditions and health disparities among migrant families. As we gaze upon this still image today, it serves as a powerful reminder of our shared history and the resilience of those who endured such trying times. It stands as a testament to Lange's ability to capture raw human emotion through her photography while documenting an important chapter in American history. This photograph is part of Dorothea Lange's remarkable body of work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) under the Office of War Information (OWI), which aimed to raise awareness about social issues during this period.
