EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of rural life in 1930s America. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange, it showcases farm buildings constructed with slabs on a newly cleared stump farm in Boundary County, Idaho. The image depicts the stark reality of the Great Depression era, where poverty and economic hardship were prevalent. The composition highlights the simplicity and rustic charm of these structures amidst the vast countryside. A fence encloses the area, symbolizing both protection and confinement. In this humble setting, a solitary hog can be seen in its pigsty, representing sustenance for struggling families during challenging times. Lange's masterful use of photography adds depth to this still image. The absence of color emphasizes the rawness and desolation experienced by those living on this farm. Through her lens, Lange captures not only a physical landscape but also an emotional one - one that reflects resilience in times of adversity. As part of her work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) during this period, Lange aimed to document American life with authenticity and compassion. This photograph stands as a testament to her dedication towards capturing regionalism and preserving history through visual storytelling. Preserved within the Library of Congress' collection, this powerful image serves as a reminder of our nation's past struggles while honoring Dorothea Lange's enduring legacy as an influential documentary photographer.
