EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "Migrant Woman, 1937" offers a poignant snapshot of American history. The image portrays a mother standing outside her humble California home, clad in a checkered dress that reflects both simplicity and resilience. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in March 1937, this photograph has been digitally colored by Granger Art on Demand to breathe new life into its timeless message.
