EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the Schroeder family's new home in Dead Ox Flat, Malheur County, Oregon in 1939. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange, this image showcases a significant moment in American history during the Great Depression. The focal point of the photo is the sturdy farmhouse that stands proudly amidst cleared and irrigated fields. The house symbolizes hope and resilience as it represents a fresh start for the Schroeder family. Surrounding their homestead is an expansive countryside, reflecting both its remote location and rustic charm. In front of the house sits a classic Ford Model T car, serving as a testament to progress and mobility even during challenging times. It highlights how transportation played a vital role in connecting rural communities with larger cities. Lange's composition skillfully captures not only architectural details but also human elements. A laundry line can be seen hanging outside, suggesting domesticity within this rural setting. This image evokes feelings of nostalgia while shedding light on economic struggles faced by many Americans at that time. Preserved by Heritage Art from Lange's original negative film, this photograph serves as an important historical document housed within the Library of Congress' collection. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon America's past while appreciating Lange's contribution to regionalism photography during one of our nation's most challenging eras - capturing moments that transcend time and resonate with audiences today.
