Mules used in cotton cultivation, Lake Dick, Ark. June 1938

#lakedick #dorothealanges #american #photography #dorothealange
The image is a black and white photograph depicting the use of mules in cotton cultivation. In this rural setting, several large draft animals are harnessed together to plow through muddy soil that shows signs of recent activity with broken earth and debris visible on its surface. The scene captures four prominent mules, each equipped with harnesses and blinders, working diligently alongside a couple of human operators who guide them using long-handled tools called hoe handles. The individuals guiding the animals are wearing hats for sun protection while tending to their agricultural duties in what appears to be warm weather conditions, as suggested by the light clothing. In the background, there is an expansive body of water that reflects the pale sky above and hints at a larger landscape beyond this immediate scene. The text "Mules used in cotton cultivation, Lake Dick, Ark., June 1938" provides context for the location and historical period captured within the photograph. The overall composition emphasizes hard labor as part of agricultural life during the early to mid-20th century, illustrating a moment from Dorothea Lange's extensive body of work documenting various facets of American society.

A black-and-white historical photograph depicting a rural farming scene. A man wearing overalls and a wide-brimmed hat is leading a line of mules harnessed to plows, engaged in tilling the soil. The field extends into the distance under an open sky with few clouds visible. In the foreground, we see more individuals working with similar equipment amidst freshly turned earth, indicative of agricultural labor.

Cultivating cotton at Lake Dick project, Arkansas

#lakedick #arkansas #undefined #photography #dorothealange

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017770528/
The image is a black and white photograph depicting an agricultural scene from the early 1900s. A large group of oxen, which are likely being used for plowing or hauling equipment in fields, is arranged on either side of rows of crops that have been recently planted. There appears to be a line-up formation with several animals walking together down what looks like a dirt path dividing the agricultural field. The background shows an expanse of farmland extending into the distance under overcast skies. The visual indicates it could depict the early stages of cotton cultivation, as mentioned in the provided information that references "Cultivating cotton at Lake Dick project, Arkansas." This context gives insight into historical practices and rural life during this time period.
