EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Possibly: The sawmill, Ola self-help sawmill co-op, Gem County, Idaho, 1939" offers a glimpse into the heart of rural America during the Great Depression. Captured by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange, this image showcases the spirit of cooperation and resilience that defined this era. The photograph transports us to a countryside setting in Gem County, Idaho. In the foreground stands an old-fashioned carriage surrounded by lumber stacks and chimneys billowing smoke. These chimneys symbolize not only industrial progress but also hope for economic recovery in a time of widespread poverty. Lange's lens beautifully captures the essence of cooperative effort as workers labor together at the Ola self-help sawmill co-op. This image serves as a testament to their determination to overcome adversity through collective action. It is a visual representation of how communities came together during challenging times to support one another and rebuild their lives. As we gaze upon this heritage art piece from Lange's collection housed in the Library of Congress, we are reminded of her remarkable ability to capture both human emotion and geographical features with equal finesse. Through her lens, she immortalizes moments that tell stories beyond words – stories of struggle, perseverance, and ultimately hope. This photograph serves as an important historical document showcasing not just an industry or location but also capturing the very fabric of American life during one of its most trying periods. It reminds us that even amidst hardship and recession, unity can pave the way towards brighter futures for all.
