EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph by Dorothea Lange captures a moment frozen in time during the Great Depression era. The image showcases a log chute at the Pelican Bay Lumber Company mill near Klamath Falls, Oregon. As one of America's most renowned documentary photographers, Lange skillfully portrays the harsh realities faced by rural communities during this tumultuous period.

This powerful visual symbolizes both hope and struggle as it represents not only an industry but also countless lives affected by economic recession and poverty. Lange's lens reveals a glimpse of rural life in 1930s America with remarkable detail.

Her photographs became iconic symbols of resilience and human spirit in times of adversity.
