EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Dorothea Lange takes us back to the year 1939, where we find ourselves standing on the famous Redwood Highway in Scotia, Humboldt County, California. The image showcases a breathtaking landscape filled with towering redwood trees and scattered stumps, serving as a testament to the region's rich forestry heritage. In this snapshot of rural life during the Great Depression era, Lange captures not only the sheer size and majesty of these giant sequoias but also hints at the economic struggles faced by many Americans at that time. The presence of an active mill town belonging to the Pacific Lumber Company adds another layer of complexity to this scene. Lange's keen eye for detail invites us to contemplate both nature's grandeur and humanity's impact on it. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of how agriculture played a vital role in shaping America's identity throughout history. The cornfields visible in the distance symbolize sustenance and survival amidst challenging times. With her work commissioned by organizations like Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), Lange became renowned for documenting social issues through her lens. This particular piece exemplifies her ability to capture not just physical landscapes but also intangible aspects such as regionalism and environmental concerns. As we admire this remarkable piece from Heritage Art collection held at Congressional Library - Library of Congress, let us reflect on our relationship with nature, our responsibility towards preserving it for future generations while acknowledging its significance in shaping our past.
