EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Dorothea Lange in 1939, showcases a small private lumber mill that defies the odds amidst a region dominated by large mills. Located in Boundary County, Idaho, this image captures the essence of rural America during the Great Depression era. The picture portrays an industrial scene with two tall chimneys rising into the sky, emitting smoke as evidence of ongoing production. The mill stands as a symbol of resilience and determination in an economy ravaged by recession and poverty. Against all odds, this small company continues to operate despite being surrounded by larger competitors who have already depleted much of the area's resources. Lange's composition highlights both the physicality and geographical features surrounding the mill. A serene mill pond can be seen adjacent to the building, reflecting its surroundings like a mirror. This juxtaposition between industry and nature adds depth to our understanding of how these businesses coexist within their environment. Through her lens, Lange captures not only an economic reality but also offers us a glimpse into rural life during this tumultuous period in American history. This photograph serves as a testament to human perseverance against adversity while reminding us of our nation's rich heritage rooted in hard work and regionalism. Preserved within Heritage Images' collection at the Library of Congress, this piece stands as one among many remarkable works from Lange's extensive career documenting American society during times of hardship.
