EDITORS COMMENTS
Entering main street from the north, Tenino, Thurston County, Western Washington, 1939. This print by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange takes us back to a pivotal moment in American history - the Great Depression. As part of her work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), Lange captures the stark reality of rural life during this challenging era. In this particular image, we see a small town struggling to survive amidst economic hardship. The "cut out" lumber company office stands as a symbol of hope and resilience in an otherwise desolate landscape. The timber yard nearby serves as a reminder of the importance of industry in sustaining communities. Lange's masterful composition draws our attention to the main street leading into town. It is empty and quiet, reflecting both the physical isolation and emotional toll experienced by those living through these difficult times. Yet there is also a sense of determination present - despite their circumstances, these individuals continue to persevere. This photograph not only documents historical events but also evokes empathy for those affected by poverty and recession. Through her lens, Lange invites us to reflect on our own society's commitment to supporting one another during times of crisis. As we gaze upon this still image frozen in time, let us remember that even in moments of great struggle, human spirit endures.
