Dorothea Lange, a pioneering American documentary photographer, captured the human toll of the Great Depression with unparalleled empathy and artistry. Her iconic images, such as "Migrant Mother," became symbols of the era's suffering and galvanized social change.

Lange's work extended beyond the Depression, documenting the lives of marginalized communities and the impact of war. Her photographs are celebrated for their raw honesty, technical brilliance, and enduring power.

These images stem from her time employed by the Farm Security Administration (FSA) - created in 1937 to combat rural poverty during the Great Depression in the United States.
