EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history, showcasing one of the thirty-six members of the Ola self-help sawmill cooperation in Gem County, Idaho during 1939. The creator behind this powerful image is none other than Dorothea Lange, a renowned American photographer known for her impactful work during the Great Depression era. In this snapshot, we see a rugged lumberjack standing proudly amidst his fellow cooperative members. Clad in checkered clothing and donning a hat that shields him from the elements, he represents resilience and hard work in the face of economic adversity. The backdrop of Gem County's countryside adds to the rustic charm of this scene. Lange's lens beautifully captures not only their physical appearance but also their spirit of cooperation and unity. These men came together to form a self-help sawmill cooperative during challenging times when jobs were scarce due to the Great Depression. Their determination to support each other through collective effort is evident in every line etched on their faces. As part of Lange's extensive body of work commissioned by various government agencies such as Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), this photograph serves as an important historical document preserving both individual stories and broader socio-economic contexts. Through this image, Lange reminds us that even amidst hardship, communities can come together to create hope for a better future. It stands as a testament to human resilience and solidarity during one of America's most trying periods – an enduring symbol captured forever by Dorothea Lange's masterful eye.
