EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Airport. Glendale, California. [Mexican Aviation Company building]," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1937. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1930s and the era of the Great Depression. The photograph was taken at the Grand Central Airport (Gcat) in Glendale, California, which was a significant aviation hub during that time. The Mexican Aviation Company building, prominently featured in the image, stands proudly against the clear blue sky. The building, with its streamlined design and modern architecture, exudes an air of optimism and progress amidst the economic downturn of the Great Depression. The hangar doors are wide open, revealing aircraft parked inside, ready for takeoff. The office building's windows reflect the surrounding landscape, creating an intriguing mirror image. Lange, a pioneering figure in documentary photography, captured this image as part of her work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and the Office of War Information (OWI). Her photograph not only documents the history of aviation in America but also serves as a visual testament to the resilience and ingenuity of the human spirit during challenging economic times. The photograph is a valuable heritage art piece, showcasing the rich history of aviation and transportation in the United States. The photograph is a nitrate negative, and Lange's masterful use of light and shadow creates a striking contrast, highlighting the textures and details of the building and the aircraft. This image is a must-have for anyone interested in American history, aviation, or photography, and a reminder of the past that continues to inspire and captivate us.
