#DorotheaLange’s ‘Migrant Mother’ portrait of #FlorenceThompson
‘Nipomo, Calif. Mar. 1936. Migrant agricultural worker's family. Seven hungry children. Mother aged 32, the father is a native Californian. Destitute in a pea pickers camp, because of the failure of the early pea crop. These people had just sold their tent in order to buy food. Most of the 2,500 people in this camp were destitute.’ Dorothea Lange. March 1936. Photo: The Library of Congress https://mymodernmet.com/dorothea-lange-migrant-mother/
