I believe Lange has credited the aftereffects of her polio with helping her gain the trust of her subjects. If anyone has access to "The Making of a Documentary Photographer," an oral history interview conducted in 1960 and 1961 by Suzanne Riess (Berkeley, Calif.: Regional Oral History Office,

In the third sentence of "Biography," I suggest deleting the phrase "before treatment was available." There is still no treatment that "cures" the effects of polio, although vaccines have almost eliminated its occurrence. Those who do contract the disease may be treated to alleviate pain or

On Langes 'migrant mother' you can just make out a thumb on the lower right side of the print. this was clearly visible in earlier prints, but was later retouched by lange.
