EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a poignant moment in American history during the Great Depression. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange, it showcases Zollie Lyons and his son diligently worming tobacco on their farm in Wake County, North Carolina in 1939. In this rustic setting, surrounded by lush tobacco plants, Zollie Lyons stands tall with his young son by his side. Both men are engrossed in their task, focusing intently on removing pests from the precious crop. Their weathered faces tell tales of hardship and resilience as they navigate through an era marked by economic recession and rural poverty. Lange's composition beautifully portrays the connection between man and nature, highlighting the importance of agriculture for survival during challenging times. The image serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit of hardworking individuals who relied on farming to sustain their families amidst adversity. Through her lens, Lange captured not only a specific moment but also a broader narrative of rural life in America's South during the 1930s. This photograph is now part of the Library of Congress' collection, preserving this significant piece of heritage art that reflects both personal struggles and regionalism within our nation's history.
