Notes
Nine plates in the catalog (count verified by strict-match grep against data/photographs.csv 2026-05-07): photo-0045 (Section 7 Births), photo-0087 (Children B), photo-0093 (Children B, FSA-credited), photo-0127 (Land), photo-0175 (Work B), photo-0286 (Relationships, FORTUNE), photo-0291 (Relationships, FORTUNE), photo-0376 (Hard Times, FSA-credited), photo-0379 (Hard Times, FSA-credited). All nine plates set in the USA and credited ‘American’ in the MoMA Master Checklist. Born 1895; died 1965 per src-icp-lange-archive (in repo, fetched 2026-05-07). The May 26, 1895 / October 11, 1965 day-month tokens and the Hoboken NJ / San Francisco place tokens carry pointer status from src-wikipedia-lange-pointer (in repo, fetched 2026-05-07). Gender ‘female’ supported by src-icp-lange-archive: ICP refers to her with she/her pronouns and notes she received ‘the first Guggenheim Fellowship awarded to a woman in 1941’ (verbatim) — meeting the plan.md §17 Q16 ‘documented in a reputable source’ bar. FSA work 1935–1939 per src-icp-lange-archive (verbatim). Three of the nine FoM plates carry an explicit FSA commissioner credit (photo-0093, photo-0376, photo-0379), placing them in the 1935–1939 federal-documentary period; the two FORTUNE-credited plates (photo-0286, photo-0291) reflect her later magazine assignments — specific dating is NOT verified at the plate level this round. The Daily Art Magazine 70th-anniversary article (src-west-2025-dailyart-lange-fom, in repo, verified: false) is included as a pointer for a future verification pass on Lange’s curatorial role helping Steichen shape the project; that article was NOT consulted at full text in this round.
