EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a canning plant in Milton-Freewater, Oregon, back in 1941. The principal project of this bustling facility was peas, as indicated by the prominent sign proudly displaying "Rogers Canning Co". This image is a vivid representation of American industry and agriculture during the mid-20th century. The photograph showcases an exterior view of the canning plant, revealing its size and significance within the local community. Its location amidst picturesque countryside scenery emphasizes the connection between nature's bounty and human ingenuity. Trucks lined up outside suggest a well-oiled transportation system that efficiently delivers fresh produce to be processed. Russell Lee skillfully captured this still image with vibrant colors, highlighting not only the physical structure but also conveying a sense of pride and productivity. The photograph serves as a testament to America's commitment to food preservation during wartime years when resources were scarce. As part of his work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), Lee documented various aspects of American life through photography. His lens immortalizes this moment in time, preserving it for future generations to appreciate our country's heritage. This remarkable piece from Russell Lee's collection at the Library of Congress stands as an artistic representation that transcends mere documentation. It invites viewers to reflect on America's industrial prowess while recognizing how our nation has evolved over time.
