The Great Depresssion happened duirng the 1930s. Masses of people struggled to eat and find work. Dorothea Lange took pictures of these hard times with the most famous being The Migrant Mother pictures.
Dorothea Lange captured the early aging of the mother and the dirt of the family. The mother looks worried and older than her real age with her children around her in unwashed clothes.
The photos show the desperateness of the families and individuals in the depression. The family uses tattered cloth to create a shelter from the sun and rain.
The Migrant Mother gives a glimpse of the depression of the thirties in the United States. Dorothea Lange's photos worked to keep the depression's memory inside everyone.
