The picture is tied to the Dorothea Lange exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, which ran from January 24 to March 27, 1966. Lange died in 1965, so the show arrived soon after her death and served as a major look back at her career. Her best-known work, made for the Farm Security Administration during the Great Depression, recorded migrant workers, farm families and rural poverty, and it helped shape how American documentary photography was understood. The record comes from a caption card, so details beyond the exhibition title and dates are not confirmed.
