EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Monument dedicated to the Copper Miners of Arizona, located in Bisbee. The monument, a work of a local sculptor, was sponsored by the Work Projects Administration (WPA) during the Great Depression in the 1930s. The monument stands as a tribute to the hardworking miners who toiled in the copper mines of Arizona, an industry that played a significant role in the state's economy during that era. The monument, which features an "Iron Man" statue, symbolizes the strength and resilience of the miners, who endured long hours, dangerous working conditions, and low wages. The statue, cast in concrete, stands tall against the desert backdrop, a testament to the miners' heritage and the industry's history. The photograph was taken by Dorothea Lange, a renowned American photographer who captured the essence of the Great Depression through her poignant images. Lange, who worked for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and later the Office of War Information (OWI), documented the lives of ordinary Americans during some of the most challenging times in the country's history. This photograph, taken in the 1930s, reflects the economic hardships of the time, as well as the determination and grit of the American people. The monument in Bisbee remains a significant landmark and a reminder of the state's industrial past. It stands as a symbol of the miners' contributions to Arizona's history and the enduring spirit of the American workforce.
