Arthur Rothstein was twenty years old when he took this photograph in 1936. He had been photographing Arthur Coble and his small sons Milton and Darrel on the Coble farm when the wind picked up. The photographer headed for his car while the Coble family made a run for the farmhouse. Rothstein reached his car and turned around to wave goodbye. He saw the family walking against the wind. This image became a symbol of the hard times that affected millions of Americans during the Great Depression.
