EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Hay forks, Northern Oregon farm, Morrow County, Oregon, 1939" captures the essence of rural life in America during the Great Depression era. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange as part of her work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), this image showcases a timeless agricultural implement - hay forks. The photograph transports us to a countryside setting in Northern Oregon where hardworking farmers relied on traditional tools like pitchforks to gather and transport hay. The simplicity of these implements is juxtaposed against the complex economic challenges faced by rural communities during that time. Lange's composition skillfully highlights both the rustic beauty of the landscape and the resilience of those who worked its soil. Through her lens, she immortalizes an important piece of American heritage art that serves as a poignant reminder of our nation's history. As we gaze upon this still image from nearly a century ago, we are reminded not only of technological advancements but also how far we have come as a society. This photograph stands as a testament to Lange's ability to capture not just moments frozen in time but also emotions and stories that resonate with viewers across generations. Preserved within the Library of Congress archives, this remarkable piece offers us an opportunity to reflect on our roots while appreciating how far we have progressed since then. It serves as an enduring symbol of hope amidst adversity and reminds us never to forget our shared past.
