EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Type house for two families (incomplete). Will be ready for occupancy July, 1936," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in Hightstown, New Jersey, during the 1930s. The image is a testament to the resilience and determination of the American people during the Great Depression. The photograph shows an unfinished type house, designed to accommodate two families. The exterior of the house is under construction, with bricks laid out in neat rows and wooden beams visible. In the foreground, a garden is starting to take shape, with young plants poking through the soil. The scene exudes a sense of hope and progress, despite the challenging economic conditions of the time. Dorothea Lange, born Dorothea Margaretta Nutzhorn, was a pioneering photographer who documented the realities of American life during the 20th century. She is best known for her work with the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and the Office of War Information (OWI), capturing images of the Great Depression and the effects of World War II on the American people. This photograph is part of the Dorothea Lange Collection in the Library of Congress, and is a valuable addition to the historical record of the United States during the 1930s. The image is a nitrate negative, and was taken during a time when the country was grappling with the effects of the Great Depression and the economic recession. The photographers Dorothea Lange and Lee Russell, both of whom worked for the FSA, captured this image as part of their efforts to document the lives of ordinary Americans and to bring attention to the need for government assistance during this difficult period. The image is a poignant reminder of the importance of perseverance and the human spirit, even in the face of adversity.
