EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured by the talented Dorothea Lange in 1939, transports us to a hop field near Independence, Oregon. The image portrays a group of migratory field workers immersed in their laborious task during the Great Depression era. Lange's lens skillfully captures the essence of their lives as they toil under the open sky. The composition showcases a diverse group of individuals, both male and female, engaged in harvesting hops - an essential crop for brewing beer. Their weathered faces tell stories of hardship and resilience, embodying the spirit of America during this challenging period. Each worker holds a basket or hamper filled with freshly picked hops, symbolizing their tireless efforts to make ends meet. Lange's choice to depict these migrant workers amidst lush fields highlights the beauty that can be found even in difficult circumstances. The image serves as a reminder of our shared agricultural heritage and the vital role played by those who work tirelessly on farms across the country. Preserved within this photographic print is not only an important historical document but also a testament to human strength and determination. Through her lens, Dorothea Lange immortalizes these unsung heroes who labored against all odds during one of America's darkest times.
