EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Dorothea Lange in 1939, showcases the humble abode of a member from the Ola self-help sawmill co-op in Gem County, Idaho. The image captures a slice of American rural life during the Great Depression era. In this poignant scene, we see a charming wooden cabin nestled amidst the picturesque countryside. A young girl sits on a baby chair placed at the doorway, her eyes fixed on a flock of geese passing by. The simplicity and tranquility of this moment evoke feelings of nostalgia and innocence. Lange's composition skillfully highlights both architectural details and natural elements. The rustic charm of the cabin is accentuated by its weathered exterior and surrounding lumberyard. Meanwhile, the graceful presence of geese adds an enchanting touch to this snapshot frozen in time. The photograph symbolizes more than just a home; it represents resilience and cooperation within communities during challenging times. As part of a cooperative effort to combat economic hardship, members came together to establish their own sawmill operation – an inspiring example of self-help during an era marked by financial struggles. Dorothea Lange's work for the Farm Security Administration documented various aspects of American life during this period, shedding light on social issues while capturing moments that resonate with viewers even today. This particular print serves as both historical documentation and artistic expression - reminding us that beauty can be found even in adversity.
