Dorothea Lange's "Arkansas mother come to California for a new start, with husband and eleven children. Now a rural rehabilitation client. Tulare County, California" is a poignant black and white photograph from the late 1930s to early 1960s, capturing the resilience of a woman facing hardship. The photograph, a part of Lange's documentation of the Great Depression and its impact on American families, showcases a woman's strength and determination as she leans against a fence, her expression a mix of weariness and hope. The image embodies Lange's signature documentary style, focusing on the human element amidst social and economic challenges.
