EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1938, captures the Original Bar of Helldorado at the Crystal Palace Saloon in Tombstone, Arizona. The image transports us back to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the history of this legendary Wild West town. During the 1930s, the Great Depression had hit America hard, and the economy was in a state of recession. Yet, despite the hardships, the spirit of the people remained unbroken. This is evident in the image of the crowded bar, where men gather around the counter, engaged in lively conversation, smoking cigars and cigarettes, and enjoying a drink. The bar, adorned with an array of bottles and advertisements for various brands, exudes an aura of nostalgia and intrigue. The worn-out wooden counter and the dimly lit interior add to the ambiance of the scene, creating a sense of timelessness. The photograph was taken during a time when the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and the Office of War Information (OWI) employed Lange to document the realities of American life. This image, with its raw and unfiltered portrayal of everyday life, is a testament to Lange's ability to capture the essence of a moment in history. The Original Bar of Helldorado at the Crystal Palace Saloon in Tombstone, Arizona, stands as a symbol of the resilience and determination of the American people during the Great Depression. Dorothea Lange's photograph immortalizes this moment in time, offering us a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the rich heritage and history of America.
