50 photos from American life in the 19th century
Photographs have a way of capturing emotion. A photo may echo sadness and desperation, as is the case with Dorothea Lange’s 1936 photograph known as “Migrant Mother,” showing a distraught mother and her children during the Great Depression. It may capture the spirit of triumph, as is accomplished with John Rooney’s iconic 1965 shot of boxing heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali standing over opponent Sonny Liston. A photograph can also appear to signify hope and joy, à la Alfred Eisenstaedt’s “V-J Day in Times Square.”
