Arnold children embrace the sweetness of nature in Michigan Hill's berry patch, Western Washington, 1939
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph by Dorothea Lange captures a poignant moment in American history during the Great Depression. The image showcases three young Arnold children immersed in their surroundings as they diligently pick raspberries from the newly cultivated berry patch. Set against the rustic backdrop of Thurston County's Michigan Hill, these resilient youngsters embody the spirit of rural America. With determination etched on their faces, they exemplify how even amidst economic hardship, families found solace and sustenance through agriculture. Lange's masterful composition highlights both the beauty of nature and human resilience. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to this timeless portrait, emphasizing each child's unique posture as they kneel among rows of raspberry plants. As we gaze upon this heritage art piece preserved by the Library of Congress, we are transported back to an era defined by struggle and perseverance. Through Lange's lens, we witness not only a scene but also a testament to the indomitable spirit that carried communities through difficult times. Let us cherish this snapshot from our past—a reminder that even in moments of poverty and recession—there is always hope blooming amidst adversity.
