Louise Rosskam
Farm Security Administration photographer
(Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 3/27/1910 - 4/1/2003, New Jersey)
was a photographer for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and the Standard Oil Company during the mid-20th century. Together with her husband, Edwin Rosskam (1903–1985), the pair documented American life during the Great Depression. The Rosskams were part of a group of talented photographers hired by Roy Stryker, the head of the FSA between 1935 and 1944, during what is often called the "Golden Age of Documentary Photography".[1]
