EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Bean pickers camp, Oregon, Marion county, near West Stayton, Oregon, 1939" captures a poignant moment in American history. Taken by the renowned photographer Dorothea Lange during the Great Depression era, this image showcases the harsh realities faced by rural communities. In this rustic countryside setting, we see a camp of bean pickers who have gathered their meager belongings to create a makeshift home. The worn-out barrels serve as storage for their household goods and kitchen equipment. Surrounding them is an abundance of firewood collected for warmth and cooking purposes. Lange's composition beautifully conveys the economic hardships endured during this time. The desolate landscape reflects the poverty that plagued many families across America. Through her lens, Lange skillfully brings attention to these forgotten individuals who were struggling to make ends meet. As part of her work with the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and later with the Office of War Information (OWI), Lange documented various aspects of rural life affected by economic recession. Her photographs became powerful symbols of regionalism and social inequality. This particular print is housed in the Congressional Library's collection at the Library of Congress. It stands as a testament to Lange's dedication in capturing moments that shed light on important issues within society.
