EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by the talented Dorothea Lange in 1942, showcases a significant moment in American history. Titled "Possibly: Clearing earth and old paving for extension. . . at Fourteenth, Washington, D. C" this image transports us back to a time of construction and progress. In the heart of Washington, D. C. , we witness workers diligently clearing away earth and old paving to make way for the extension of Independence Avenue at Fourteenth Street. The photograph's composition draws our attention to the bustling activity taking place on this historic site. Dorothea Lange's keen eye captures not only the physical labor involved but also conveys a deeper concept - that of growth and expansion. As America entered a new decade amidst World War II, this image symbolizes the country's determination to forge ahead despite challenging circumstances. The Farm Security Administration (FSA) commissioned Lange as part of their efforts to document various aspects of American life during this era. Through her lens, she immortalized scenes like these that would have otherwise been forgotten over time. Preserved within the Library of Congress' extensive collection, this still image serves as an invaluable piece of heritage art. It allows us to reflect upon our nation's past while appreciating how far we have come. Dorothea Lange's work continues to inspire generations with its ability to capture both historical significance and human emotion. This particular photograph stands as a testament to her talent for immortalizing moments that shape our understanding of America's rich cultural tapestry.
