EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Dorothea Lange takes us back to the year 1939, in Gem County, Idaho. Titled "Looking down on Ola self-help co-op mill showing the upper end of Squaw Creek Valley" this image offers a glimpse into rural American life during the Great Depression era. The photograph showcases an idyllic countryside scene with Squaw Creek meandering through it, its banks adorned with lush trees. The focal point is the newly constructed dry shed near the co-op mill, symbolizing resilience and collective effort. Surrounding it are homes belonging to members of the cooperative, highlighting their commitment to cooperation and community support. Lange's lens captures cultivated fields stretching as far as the eye can see, revealing how these hardworking individuals relied on farming for sustenance amidst economic hardship. The landscape exudes a rustic charm that reflects both simplicity and perseverance in face of adversity. Through her lens, Lange masterfully portrays not only a geographical feature but also tells a story of poverty and regionalism during one of America's most challenging times. Her work for the Farm Security Administration documents everyday life with sensitivity and empathy. As we gaze upon this powerful image today, we are reminded of our shared history and the importance of unity in overcoming difficult circumstances. It serves as a testament to human resilience while urging us to appreciate our heritage and strive for cooperation even in modern times.
