EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken by Dorothea Lange in 1939, we are transported back to the heart of America during the Great Depression. The image showcases two of the seven Browning children standing in the doorway of their humble Oregon home on Dead Ox Flat. The worn wooden door frames a scene that speaks volumes about resilience and determination amidst economic hardship. The children, a boy and a girl, stand side by side with contrasting expressions - one curious and hopeful, while the other wears a somber expression that reflects the weight of their circumstances. Lange's composition captures not only the physical structure of their home but also hints at its significance as a sanctuary from an unforgiving world outside. A mosquito screen adorns the doorway, symbolizing protection against both literal pests and metaphorical challenges faced by families during this era. This poignant photograph is part of Lange's extensive documentation for various government agencies such as Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI). Through her lens, she aimed to shed light on social issues plaguing American society at that time. As we gaze upon this powerful image today, it serves as a reminder of our shared history and how far we have come since then. It stands as a testament to human resilience in times of adversity - reminding us never to take our homes or opportunities for granted.
