Hardcover Publisher: Text-Fiche Press (June 1980) First Edition Language: English ISBN-10: 0899690009 ISBN-13: 978-0899690001 The following are excerpts about the book by the publisher: “The complete, original FSA captions are provided in the printed text, and reveal Lange's skill as an oral historian. The Library of Congress accession number for each print is also included in the text.” … “Volume I includes writings by Lange's husband, economist Paul Taylor: a 1935 address he gave to the Commonwealth Club about the migratory workers who are the subject of Lange's pictures and three reports he wrote in 1935 for the California Emergency Relief Administration. The reports were accompanied by Lange's pictures, and one of these Taylor-Lange reports resulted in the first federally sponsored public housing in the U.S.” … “Pare Lorentz, commenting on Lange's pictures in U.S. Camera, 1941: "I hope some day the government, or a museum, or university, will publish four or five hundreds of her pictures that are on file in Washington. It will be a frightening collection; a terrifying experience to turn from group after group of wretched human beings, starkly asking for so little, and wondering what they will get. But regardless of the ultimate fate of these people, the pictures will live after them; whether as testimonials, epitaphs, or indictments, Lange will have been their stone-mason.”” The reference number for this item is #8174.
