EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures the resilience and determination of a young wife in 1930s America. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange, the image showcases a woman who embodies the hardships faced during the Great Depression. The subject is identified as the wife of an ex-logger turned migratory field worker, highlighting her transition from one challenging occupation to another. Set against the backdrop of Polk County, Oregon, near Independence, this photograph symbolizes both hope and struggle. With a basket in hand, she can be seen picking hops - a common agricultural task at that time. The harvest represents not only her contribution to sustaining herself and her family but also reflects the economic conditions prevalent during this era. Lange's composition beautifully captures the essence of rural life during this period. The vast farmland stretches into the distance while nature surrounds her on all sides. This image serves as a reminder of how individuals were forced to migrate in search of employment opportunities amidst widespread unemployment and poverty. Preserved by Heritage Art Images, this powerful piece offers insight into American history through Lange's lens. It stands as a testament to human strength in times of adversity and reminds us of our shared heritage shaped by migration and hard work.
