2. This photograph was created in the 1930’s during one of the saddest parts of United States History, the Great Depression.
3. The artist is trying to put across to people the struggles of the living conditions during these depressing times.
4. The artist’s purpose in putting this picture in the public form is trying to get across the modern-day American what life was like during these times. People can read books or watch movies about the time, but there is no way to really get an accurate representation of the time without a photograph from that time.
5. In this picture, you see a row of houses that to now a day’s standard would have been condemn. However these were the living
quarters of the people in those times. Notice how there is sparse vegetation and dusty, dry earth this means there is no water anywhere near here, adding to horrendous conditions of these living quarters.
