Mrs. Harold Sontag with Her Children — Ann Rosener, 1942

Ann Rosener’s 1942 photograph presents Mrs. Harold Sontag with her two young children on their farm in Maple Park, Illinois. Seated together among the vegetation with towering agricultural silos behind them, the family forms an intimate foreground to the working landscape of an American farm.

Created during the Second World War, the photograph documents both family life and the important role women played in American agriculture. Rosener’s sensitive black-and-white composition combines documentary detail with a quiet domestic moment, preserving a compelling record of rural American life in the early 1940s.
