EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captured by Dorothea Lange in 1939 showcases an old bank building in Nyssa, Malheur County, Oregon. The once prestigious establishment now houses the office of the Bureau of Reclamation. The worn-out sign on the front of the building serves as a reminder of the economic struggles faced during the Great Depression. The sign itself is a testament to community loyalty and support for local businesses. It reads: "Owyhee Irrigation District - Nyssa and Community Depends on Your Loyalty - Patronize Your Home Merchants". This message reflects the importance placed on sustaining local industry amidst challenging times. Lange's lens captures not only a physical structure but also conveys a larger concept – that of resilience and determination in rural America during this era. The image speaks volumes about how communities were affected by economic recession, with many relying heavily on agricultural practices such as irrigation to sustain their livelihoods. Through her photography, Lange sheds light on these stories that often go untold. Her work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) documented life during this tumultuous period, providing valuable insight into American history. This particular photograph stands as a powerful visual representation of both hardship and hope, reminding us of our shared past while emphasizing the significance of supporting local economies even today.
