EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by the talented Dorothea Lange in October 1939, transports us back to a pivotal moment in American history. Titled "Oregon: Farmers, 1939" this image captures the resilience and resourcefulness of farmers during the Great Depression. In this snapshot, we see a group of hardworking men standing proudly on the Miller farm in West Carlton, Yamhill County, Oregon. Clad in denim overalls and hats that shield them from the elements, these farmers exude determination as they pose for Lange's lens. What makes this scene particularly remarkable is that these farmers have come together to purchase machinery cooperatively. This cooperative effort was born out of necessity during challenging economic times when individual ownership seemed unattainable. Lange's composition beautifully portrays unity and strength within rural communities as they navigated through difficult circumstances. The starkness of their surroundings serves as a reminder of both the harsh realities faced by those living through the Great Depression and their unwavering spirit. As we gaze upon this timeless portrait today, it not only offers us a glimpse into America's past but also reminds us of our shared humanity and our ability to overcome adversity when we work together towards a common goal.
