EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "IRRIGATION CANAL, 1939" transports us back to a significant era in American history. Taken by the renowned photographer Dorothea Lange, this image showcases the concrete-lined Roza irrigation canal located in Yakima County, Washington. The photograph captures the essence of early 20th-century America, when infrastructure projects like this canal were part of President Roosevelt's New Deal initiative. The construction of such canals played a vital role in transforming arid landscapes into fertile farmlands across the country. Lange's keen eye for detail is evident as she beautifully frames the scene. The perfectly straight line of the concrete canal stretches into the distance, cutting through an otherwise untouched landscape. The contrast between nature and human intervention is strikingly portrayed. Yakima County's picturesque surroundings provide a stunning backdrop for this man-made marvel. Nestled within Washington State's northwest region, it serves as a testament to mankind's ability to harness nature for agricultural purposes. As we gaze upon this historical print from Granger Art on Demand, we are reminded of how innovation and determination have shaped our nation throughout time. This photograph not only captures an engineering feat but also symbolizes progress and resilience during challenging times.
