EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures the essence of faith and devotion during a time of great hardship. Taken in 1939 by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange, the image showcases the "Power of the Lord preaching" by a Salvation Army soldier in San Francisco, California. The central figure in this photograph is a man who had been saved twelve years prior and has dedicated his life to serving others through the Salvation Army. Clad in simple attire, he stands tall with an air of conviction as he testifies about his born-again experience. His presence exudes strength and resilience amidst the challenges brought on by the Great Depression. Lange's composition emphasizes both individuality and collective belief. The soldier's commanding posture draws attention to his unwavering commitment to spreading God's message, while also symbolizing hope for those enduring economic hardships. Surrounding him are other men, fellow soldiers perhaps, listening intently or offering support. Through her lens, Lange captures not only religious fervor but also social commentary on poverty and charity during this tumultuous era. This photograph serves as a reminder that even amid despair, faith can be a source of solace and inspiration for individuals seeking salvation. Preserved within the archives of Heritage Images, this still image continues to resonate today as a testament to human resilience in times of adversity. It stands as an iconic representation of Dorothea Lange's impactful work documenting American history through photography.
