View of the Halley Farm - A Glimpse into Rural Life during the Great Depression
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph, taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, offers a poignant view of the Halley farm on Priest River Peninsula in Bonner County, Idaho. The image captures the essence of rural America during one of its most challenging periods - the Great Depression. Lange's expertise in capturing human emotions through her lens is evident as she portrays a landscape marked by economic hardship and poverty. The dilapidated farmhouse stands as a symbol of struggle against an unforgiving recession that plagued the nation at that time. The stark contrast between light and shadow emphasizes both hope and despair within this still image. Despite their dire circumstances, there is resilience etched onto the faces of those who worked tirelessly to make ends meet on this farmland. As part of her work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) under the Office of War Information (OWI), Lange aimed to document regionalism and shed light on social issues prevalent across America's heartland. Through her lens, she captured not only landscapes but also stories - stories that spoke volumes about perseverance amidst adversity. Today, this photograph serves as a powerful reminder of our shared history and heritage. It reminds us to appreciate how far we have come while acknowledging those who endured unimaginable hardships during one of America's darkest chapters. In preserving this visual record at the Library Congress' Congressional Library archives, we honor Dorothea Lange's legacy as well as pay homage to all those whose lives were forever shaped by these tumultuous times.
