EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Possibly: Men working in mill, Ola self-help sawmill co-op, Gem County, Idaho, 1939" captures a significant moment in American history. Taken by the renowned photographer Dorothea Lange during the Great Depression era, this image offers a glimpse into the cooperative efforts of hardworking men striving to make a living. In this powerful composition, we see a group of lumberjacks dressed in bib overalls and hats diligently engaged in their work inside the mill. The man standing at the rear center wearing a black hat is identified as an FSA county supervisor from the Farm Security Administration. This detail adds depth to our understanding of how government agencies were involved in supporting rural communities during challenging times. Lange's masterful use of photography enhances the sense of nostalgia and highlights the grit and determination etched on each worker's face. The rustic barn-like structure surrounding them further emphasizes their connection to nature and country life. As we contemplate this image today, it serves as a reminder of resilience amidst adversity. It symbolizes not only cooperation but also economic survival during one of America's most trying periods. Preserved within this photograph is not just an artistic representation but also an invaluable historical document that sheds light on both individual stories and collective struggles. Displayed proudly among other heritage art pieces or housed within library archives such as those found at Congress or Library of Congress - where it originated - this photograph continues to evoke emotions while preserving memories for generations to come.
