EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'The house that cotton built' and taken by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in Ennis, Texas, during the 1930s, captures the essence of affluence and prosperity amidst the backdrop of the Great Depression. The image showcases a grand, stately home, adorned with balconies and architectural features, standing proudly against the open Texas sky. The house, a symbol of the cotton economy that once thrived in the region, exudes an air of elegance and wealth, in stark contrast to the economic hardships faced by many Americans during this period. Dorothea Lange, a pioneering figure in documentary photography, captured this image as part of her work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and the Office of War Information (OWI). The photograph is a testament to the power of photography as a means of recording history and preserving heritage. The house, with its intricate details and grandeur, is a reminder of a time when cotton was king in the Southern United States, and the economy was built on the backs of agricultural laborers. The photograph, a nitrate negative, has been preserved and is now part of the Dorothea Lange Collection at Heritage Images. It serves as a poignant reminder of the past, a glimpse into a bygone era, and a visual representation of the complex economic realities of the time. The image continues to inspire and captivate viewers, offering a glimpse into the history of America during the Great Depression and the role that agriculture played in shaping the country's economic landscape.
