EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by the talented Dorothea Lange in 1939, transports us back to a time of resilience and cooperation amidst the Great Depression. Entitled "Five members of Ola self-help sawmill co-op, Gem County, Idaho" this image showcases a group portrait that speaks volumes about the spirit of hard work and unity. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see five rugged men standing proudly in their work attire against a picturesque countryside backdrop. Clad in jeans and sturdy shirts, they exude strength and determination as they hold their trusty axes with confidence. The lumberjacks' weathered faces tell stories of countless hours spent laboring outdoors. The significance lies not only in their individual roles but also in their collective efforts as members of the Ola self-help sawmill co-op. This cooperative endeavor symbolizes an innovative response to economic hardships during those challenging times. Through collaboration and shared resources, these men found solace and sustenance within their community. Dorothea Lange's keen eye for detail captures every nuance—the rough texture of logs stacked nearby, the presence of a lorry ready to transport timber—all elements that contribute to painting a vivid picture of life at that moment. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph today, it serves as a poignant reminder that even during periods marked by adversity, human resilience can prevail through cooperation and mutual support.
