Great Depression Era Photos
1. Dorothea Lange (1895-1965)
Dorothea Lange (1895-1965) has been called the
greatest American documentary photographer. She
is best known for her chronicles of the Great
Depression and for her photographs of migratory
farm workers. Below are many pre-World War II
photographs, taken for the U.S. Farm Security
Administration (FSA), investigating living conditions
of families hired to work in cotton fields and farms in
Arizona and California. Many of the families had fled
the Dust Bowl, the lengthy drought which devastated
millions of acres of farmland in Midwestern states
such as Oklahoma. You will also find photos of
Hoovervilles and other urban pictures (soup
kitchens).
