    The photograph was taken in South Dakota in 1936 and depicts the devastating effects of the Dust Bowl during the Great Depression. Widespread drought and dust storms caused crops to fail across the Great Plains, forcing many farmers to abandon their land and livelihoods. The consequences for those who lived in the area included starving families as the agricultural economy collapsed, banks repossessing farms, and mass migrations of displaced workers to towns and cities in search of work.
