Florence Thompson

Thompson was the subject of a photo taken by Dorothea Lange titled Migrant Mother (1983). It is an iconic image of the great depression. This is a form of documentary photography. It is amazing how one photo can sum up an entire era. The photo uses symbolism, Thompson's face shows the worry and struggle of life during the depression. She has to find a way to support her children who in the photo we can see leaning on her. This can be taken as a visual metaphor of them needing her to support them and take car of them.
