EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time - five Idaho farmers, proud members of the Ola self-help sawmill co-op, standing against a towering load of logs. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, this image showcases the resilience and cooperative spirit that defined rural America during the Great Depression. The men are dressed in rugged attire, their clothing reflecting both practicality and simplicity. Wearing jeans and sturdy shirts, they epitomize hard work and dedication to their craft. With axes resting on their shoulders, they exude strength and determination as they prepare to transport the logs down to their mill three miles away. Lange's composition highlights not only the individuals but also emphasizes the vastness of nature surrounding them. The dense forest serves as a backdrop for this group portrait, emphasizing their connection to the land they depend on for survival. In an era marked by economic hardship, these farmers found solace through cooperation within their community. As members of a self-help sawmill co-op, they worked together towards shared goals - supporting each other financially while contributing to local industry. Dorothea Lange's powerful lens immortalizes these hardworking men who embody both resilience and unity amidst adversity. This photograph stands as a testament to American heritage during one of its most challenging times – reminding us all of our capacity for strength when we come together with common purpose.
