A classic and very famous example of this is the image below titled – “Migrant mother” shot in 1936 by Dorethy Erlang. The image which was commissioned by the US gov. to strengthen Pres. Roosevelt’s campaign depicted the great depression after the wall street crash. This image was a very successful piece of political propaganda used to reflect a mothers pride and determination to go on regardless that the going was tough and that the whole country was going through a really hard time. The image was used to motivate and boost morale among the women of America who could identify with the motherly figure in the image.
