EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, transports us to the rural landscapes of Bonner County, Idaho during the Great Depression. The image showcases a hardworking stump farmer as he navigates his loaded lorry through the countryside, hauling a valuable load of slab wood for sale in town. Lange's powerful composition captures not only the physical labor involved but also the economic struggles faced by individuals during this challenging era. With an eye for detail and empathy for her subjects, Lange immortalizes this anonymous man who represents countless others trying to make ends meet. The stark contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the image while emphasizing both the resilience of rural America and its vulnerability amidst economic hardship. As we peer into this still moment frozen in time, we are reminded of Lange's ability to capture human stories within broader historical contexts. This photograph is part of Lange's extensive body of work commissioned by government agencies such as Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI). Through her lens, she documented poverty-stricken communities across America with great sensitivity and compassion. Today, this evocative print serves as a testament to both Lange's artistic brilliance and our collective history. It stands as a reminder that even in times of adversity, there is strength in perseverance and hope for brighter days ahead.
