A haunting portrait by Margaret Bourke-White captures a tenant farmer's wife in Georgia, her weathered expression conveying the profound hardship and quiet resilience of rural poverty during the Great Depression. The warm-toned gelatin silver print, with its rich black inked edges, exemplifies Bourke-White's documentary mastery, transforming a moment of stark social reality into a timeless study of human endurance. This image was later published in *You Have Seen Their Faces* (1937), the landmark collaborative work with Erskine Caldwell that brought the plight of Southern sharecroppers to national attention.
