EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "FARMLAND, 1939" captures a poignant moment in American history. The image showcases a fence that serves as a stark divide between two farms in Thurston, Washington State during the Great Depression era. On one side of the fence lies an uncleared field, representing the struggles and hardships faced by many farmers during this challenging time. However, on the other side of the fence, hope springs forth as cleared land reveals vibrant strawberry plants thriving amidst adversity. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in August 1939, this powerful image encapsulates both despair and resilience within its frame. Lange's lens expertly captures not only the physical division created by the fence but also symbolizes societal divisions prevalent during this period. The photograph is part of The Granger Collection's extensive archive of historical images that document significant moments in American history. Through her lens, Lange provides us with a glimpse into rural life and farming practices in the Pacific Northwest region during early summer. "FARMLAND, 1939" stands as a testament to both human perseverance and nature's ability to flourish even under harsh circumstances. It serves as a reminder of our shared past and invites contemplation about how far we have come since those difficult times.
