EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Dorothea Lange transports us back to the year 1939 in Josephine County, Oregon. The image showcases the laborious process of hop transportation from field to kiln during a time when agriculture played a vital role in American society. Lange's lens captures an agricultural worker amidst a dusty landscape, pushing a cart loaded with freshly harvested hops. The Great Depression had cast its shadow over the nation, and this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the economic hardships faced by farm laborers during that era. As we observe this man navigating his horse-drawn vehicle through the farmyard, we gain insight into the resilience and determination required to sustain livelihoods in such challenging times. Hops were not only essential for brewing beer but also served as flavoring agents and stability enhancers. This image offers us a glimpse into an integral part of America's brewing heritage, where crops like common hop (Humulus lupulus) held immense value. Dorothea Lange's mastery is evident in her ability to capture both the physicality of manual labor and the human spirit within it. Through her lens, she immortalizes this anonymous farmworker who represents countless individuals whose hard work contributed to shaping our country's agricultural landscape. Preserved within archival negatives at the Library of Congress' Congressional Library collection, this photograph stands as a testament to Lange's legacy as well as an enduring symbol of America's rich farming history.
