EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by the talented Dorothea Lange in 1939, transports us to an era of hardship and resilience. The image showcases an abandoned farmhouse nestled in the picturesque Columbia Basin, one mile east of Quincy in Grant County, Washington. As we gaze upon this hauntingly beautiful scene, we are reminded of America's tumultuous past during the Great Depression. Lange's expertise is evident as she skillfully captures the essence of rural life during this challenging time. The dilapidated building stands as a testament to the economic struggles faced by many families across the country. Its weathered exterior tells a story of poverty and recession that plagued communities throughout America. The desolate country road leading up to the farmhouse adds a sense of isolation and melancholy to the composition. It serves as a metaphor for both physical and emotional distance from prosperity and stability. Through her lens, Lange not only documents history but also evokes empathy for those affected by these trying times. This photograph is part of Lange's remarkable body of work commissioned by government agencies such as Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), which aimed to raise awareness about social issues prevalent at that time. As we contemplate this still image frozen in time, it reminds us to appreciate our present circumstances while acknowledging our shared heritage shaped by perseverance amidst adversity.
