EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "SUGAR FACTORY, 1939" takes us back in time to the opening of the second beet season at Amalgamated Sugar Company in Nyssa, Oregon. The image captures the essence of an era marked by resilience and hope amidst the Great Depression. Dorothea Lange's skilled lens transports us to this significant moment in history. Standing tall against a backdrop of towering mountains, the factory's entrance beckons workers with its grandeur. A large sign proudly displays the company's name, symbolizing employment opportunities during a time when jobs were scarce. The industrial building itself exudes strength and purpose. Its sturdy exterior stands as a testament to American industry and progress. A fence surrounds the premises, serving as both protection and a reminder that only those authorized may enter through its gate. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of how industries like sugar production played vital roles in revitalizing communities during challenging times. This image serves as a visual representation of President Roosevelt's New Deal policies that aimed to alleviate economic hardships across America. Through Dorothea Lange's lens, we witness not just a sugar factory but also an emblematic scene capturing determination and perseverance within Northwest society. This remarkable piece from Granger Art on Demand allows us to reflect on our past while appreciating how far we have come since those early days of struggle and uncertainty.
