EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1938, captures the exterior of one of the thirty-five homes in the Part-Time Farms Project near Baxter, Arizona. During the 1930s, the Great Depression left many Americans struggling to make ends meet, and this project was an initiative by the Farm Security Administration (FSA) to provide temporary relief and economic assistance to farmers and their families. The image showcases a simple bungalow-style house, surrounded by a small garden, with a few trees and other plants in the foreground. The house appears modest yet well-maintained, with a clean white exterior and a red-tiled roof. The garden, though small, is filled with vibrant greenery and flowers, suggesting that the residents take pride in their living space. Dorothea Lange, a pioneering figure in documentary photography, captured this moment as part of her work with the FSA and the Office of War Information (OWI). Her photograph not only documents the living conditions of the time but also offers a glimpse into the resilience and determination of the American people during the Great Depression. This image is a poignant reminder of a period in American history when the country was grappling with economic hardship and the need for social support. It stands as a testament to the importance of community and the human spirit in times of adversity.
