EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captured by Dorothea Lange in 1939 showcases the stark reality of rural life during the Great Depression. The image depicts a vast stump pile, ready to be set ablaze, surrounded by a humble house, barn, and other farm buildings on Unruf farm in Boundary County, Idaho. Lange's lens skillfully portrays the economic hardships faced by farmers during this tumultuous era. The dilapidated structures stand as symbols of struggle and resilience against poverty and recession. With her signature regionalism style, Lange brings attention to the harsh living conditions endured by those residing in America's countryside. The composition evokes a sense of desolation and rustic simplicity that was characteristic of rural life at that time. Through her lens, Lange captures not only physical decay but also conveys an emotional narrative of perseverance amidst adversity. As part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) project commissioned by the Office of War Information (OWI), Lange documented these scenes with great sensitivity and empathy for her subjects. Her photographs became powerful tools for raising awareness about social issues prevalent during this period. Preserved within the Library of Congress' collection, this still image serves as a poignant reminder of our nation's history while honoring Dorothea Lange's contribution to American photography. It stands as a testament to her ability to capture both beauty and hardship within a single frame – an enduring legacy that continues to inspire generations today.
