EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Dorothea Lange takes us back to the year 1939 in Gem County, Idaho. The image showcases a road that winds its way up the valley towards the Ola self-help sawmill co-op. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the rich history that unfolded along this very path during the Thunder Mountain gold rush. Lange's lens transports us to an era where cooperation and resilience were paramount. In order to transport their equipment over these rugged terrains, thirty-five horses were employed by those seeking fortune in gold. This photograph not only captures a moment but also tells a story of determination and unity. The landscape surrounding the road is one of rustic charm, with barns and houses dotting the countryside. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when rural life was deeply intertwined with nature and hard work on farms. Dorothea Lange's skillful composition allows us to immerse ourselves in this historical setting. Through her lens, she captures not just buildings or geographical features but also emotions – poverty brought about by economic depression can be felt through every pixel of this image. As we admire this piece from Heritage Art collection housed at Library of Congress, it serves as a poignant reminder of our shared past and how communities came together during challenging times like the Great Depression.
