EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures a migrant family from Arkansas in the midst of their struggles during the Great Depression. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, the image showcases a moment of respite for this displaced family as they find solace in playing hill-billy songs at an emergency migratory camp in Calipatria, California. The composition beautifully portrays the essence of American heritage and resilience. The father figure sits with his fiddle, while his young son accompanies him on the mandolin. Their music resonates through the camp, providing not only entertainment but also a sense of unity and hope amidst economic hardship. Lange's lens captures more than just musicians; it reveals a story of forced migration and displacement that affected countless families during this era. The worn faces reflect years of struggle, yet there is still a glimmer of joy as they immerse themselves in their musical talents. This photograph serves as a testament to Lange's ability to capture raw human emotion within her subjects. It stands as an enduring symbol of both the hardships faced by migrants during this time and their unwavering spirit to find solace through music. Preserved by the Library of Congress, this powerful image continues to evoke empathy and understanding for those who endured such challenging times in America's history.
