Celebrate the 40th anniversary of Hank O'Neal's 'A Vision Shared'

Dorothea Lange's 1936 photograph of drought refugees from Abilene, Texas, following the crops of California as migratory workers, is reproduced from Steidl's magnificent fortieth anniversary edition of A Vision Shared: A Portrait of America 1935–1943, in which photographer and editor Hank O'Neal invited FSA documentarians John Collier, Jack Delano, Walker Evans, Theo Jung, Dorothea Lange, Russell Lee, Carl Mydans, Arthur Rothstein, Ben Shahn, John Vachon and Marion Post Wolcott to select their best work and provide commentary—launching Thursday, August 2 and The Strand. "The finest people in the world live in Texas but I just can't seem to accomplish nothin' there," Lange quoted the father on August 6, 1936. "Two years' drought, then a crop, then two years drought and so on. I got two brothers still trying to make it back there and they're sitting."
