I really love the photographs from the Dust Bowl and Depression era. It is just amazing how terrible conditions were back then. This is a photograph of a woman from Oklahoma in 1937. Her and her husband are migrant workers. She lost a baby the previous winter. The child died from exposure. The photograph was by Dorothea Lange.Monday, January 21, 2008

great pic and super cute dress!!!
ReplyDeleteNever mind the dress. Probably made from a tablecloth. She appears to be so careworn and fearful of the future she's become numb with suffering. One of the worst periods of our nation's agricultural history.
