EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Russell Lee transports us back to the idyllic landscapes of Emmett, Idaho in 1941. The image showcases the picturesque beauty of cherry orchards and vast farmlands that stretch as far as the eye can see. A meandering irrigation ditch winds its way through the fields, providing life-giving water to sustain these bountiful crops. Lee's composition captures the essence of rural America during this era, highlighting both the simplicity and grandeur of agricultural life. The vibrant colors bring forth a sense of vitality and abundance, with cherry trees standing tall against a backdrop of majestic mountains. As we gaze upon this still image, we are reminded of the crucial role played by civil engineering in shaping our landscape. The careful planning and construction of irrigation systems ensured that these fertile lands could flourish even in arid regions like Idaho. Through his lens, Lee not only documents nature's splendor but also offers us a glimpse into a specific moment in history. This photograph was captured under the auspices of government projects such as Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), which aimed to document American life during challenging times. In preserving this visual heritage, Lee's work allows us to appreciate both the natural beauty found within our country's borders and the hard work put forth by farmers who have cultivated these lands for generations.
