EDITORS COMMENTS
Moving Day in the Turpentine Pine Forest Country, North Florida, 1936" is a poignant photograph taken by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange. This image captures a moment in time during the Great Depression era, in the United States, specifically in the turpentine pine forest country of North Florida. The photograph depicts a horse-drawn wagon filled to the brim with the belongings of a family. The mattresses, bedclothes, and other household items are carefully stacked and secured, ready for transportation to their new home. The children, dressed in simple clothes, are helping their parents load the wagon, their expressions a mix of sadness and determination. In the background, a woman stands by a cooking pot, perhaps preparing a meal for the long journey ahead. A horse and carriage waits nearby, ready to pull the wagon once loaded. The scene is one of poverty and hardship, yet there is a sense of resilience and hope in the faces of the people. This photograph was taken during Lange's tenure with the Farm Security Administration (FSA), a New Deal agency that provided relief to rural areas affected by the Great Depression. Lange's work during this time, including this image, is an important historical record of the struggles faced by migrant workers during this period. The negative for this photograph is held in the Library of Congress, a testament to its historical significance. It is a powerful reminder of the human spirit and the enduring strength of families during times of hardship.
