The Irony of Billboards



Dorothea Lange / Library of Congress


The same road. The same county. During the Great Depression, photographer Dorothea Lange captured the irony of three migrant families camping next to a billboard on Route 99 in Kern County, Calif. Today, there are no campers but one billboard along Route 99 seems similarly ironic in the current economic troubles.
