EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse into the Ola self-help co-op mill in Gem County, Idaho, during the Great Depression era of 1939. The image, possibly titled "Looking down on Ola self-help co-op mill showing the upper end of Squaw Creek Valley" showcases a picturesque countryside scene with elements that reflect both poverty and resilience. In the foreground, we see Squaw Creek lined with trees, adding a touch of natural beauty to the rustic landscape. The new dry shed near the mill stands as a symbol of progress and cooperation among members of the cooperative. Surrounding it are homes belonging to these co-op members who worked together to overcome economic challenges during this difficult period. The cultivated fields surrounding the mill demonstrate their determination to sustain themselves through agriculture despite facing financial hardships caused by the recession. Dorothea Lange's lens skillfully captures not only physical structures but also emotions tied to regionalism and rural life. As part of her work for Farm Security Administration (FSA) under Office of War Information (OWI), Lange documented scenes like this across America during this time. Her photographs became powerful tools for raising awareness about poverty and advocating for social change. This image serves as a reminder of how communities can come together in times of adversity, finding strength in cooperation and resilience amidst challenging circumstances.
