EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph, taken by Dorothea Lange in 1939, captures the essence of a bindle stiff who used to work as a logger. The image showcases the side view of Pastime Cafe in Tulelake, Siskiyou County, California. In this poignant portrayal of America during the Great Depression era, we witness a man who has been idle for three weeks before the opening of the Klamath Basin potato harvest. The subject's rugged appearance tells a story of displacement and hardship. He embodies the struggles faced by many during this time of economic recession. Lange's lens exposes not only his physical state but also his emotional turmoil as he grapples with homelessness and poverty. Through her photography for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), Lange documented forced migration and captured images that would become iconic symbols of American history. This particular print serves as a reminder that behind every face lies an untold narrative waiting to be heard. As we gaze upon this heritage art piece from Dorothea Lange's collection at the Library of Congress, we are transported back to an era where resilience was tested daily. It is through photographs like these that we can gain insight into our country's past while reflecting on its impact on our present reality.
