EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "LANGE: MIGRANT WORKER, 1940" captures a poignant moment in American history. In the image, a migrant worker can be seen laboriously hauling cotton from a field at Cortaro Farms in Pinal County, Arizona. The photograph was taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1940. The scene depicted here is emblematic of the struggles faced by working-class individuals during the mid-20th century. Lange's lens beautifully captures both the physical toil and emotional weight carried by this anonymous worker as they navigate their way through rows of cotton plants. This photograph is part of the Carousel Collection curated by The Granger Collection and serves as a powerful reminder of the harsh realities experienced by those living on the fringes of society during this era. It also highlights Lange's mastery in capturing human emotion within her documentary-style photography. Taken under the auspices of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal program, which aimed to alleviate poverty and unemployment during the Great Depression, this image stands as a testament to both resilience and hardship endured by countless Americans striving for survival. As we gaze upon this print today, it prompts us to reflect on our collective past while reminding us that there is still much work to be done in creating an equitable society for all.
