The image captures a significant moment in American history as it depicts a cotton picker diligently filling sacks with freshly harvested cotton for weighing. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in November 1936, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the daily life of a hardworking farmer in San Joaquin Valley, California.

With his weathered face and worn-out clothes, he stands beside a cart loaded with sacks ready to be weighed. This scene symbolizes both the struggles faced by working-class individuals during the Great Depression and their unwavering commitment to providing for themselves and their families. Lange's masterful composition highlights not only the physical labor involved but also the vastness of cotton plantations that stretched across rural California at that time.
