EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken by Dorothea Lange in 1939, we are transported to the Yakima Valley in Washington near Wapato. The image showcases the resilience and dedication of Mrs. Schrock as she takes good care of her family amidst the hardships of the Great Depression. Set against a rustic backdrop, Mrs. Schrock stands outside her humble abode, embodying strength and determination. Her role as a mother is beautifully captured as she prepares homemade cakes for her loved ones in an outdoor kitchen. Despite the economic recession that plagued America during this time, Mrs. Schrock's unwavering commitment to providing for her family shines through. Lange's lens not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by rural communities during this era. Through regionalism photography, Lange brings attention to poverty-stricken areas like Yakima Valley while showcasing the enduring spirit of its inhabitants. This powerful image is part of Lange's extensive body of work commissioned by various government agencies such as Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI). As one delves into this photograph, it becomes evident that it represents more than just a still image; it symbolizes love, sacrifice, and resilience - qualities that define both Mrs. Schrock herself and countless individuals who weathered through challenging times with grace. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Heritage Images at the Library of Congress' Congressional Library collection, we are reminded once again that even in moments marked by hardship and struggle, there exists an indomitable human spirit capable of overcoming adversity with love for family at its core.
