EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Dorothea Lange captures the Sugar Beet Factory of the Amalgamated Sugar Company, nestled along the picturesque Snake River in Nyssa, Malheur County, Oregon. Taken in 1939 during the Great Depression era, this image showcases a one-factory town that relied heavily on industrial production for its economic survival. The factory's towering chimneys dominate the landscape as symbols of progress and industry. However, they also serve as a reminder of the environmental impact caused by manufacturing processes during this time. The billowing smoke from these chimneys hints at pollution concerns and air quality issues prevalent in many industrial areas across America. Lange's lens skillfully frames not only the factory but also includes a bridge spanning over Snake River, adding depth to this composition. This photograph serves as both an artistic expression and a historical document capturing an important period in American history. As part of her work with Farm Security Administration (FSA), Lange documented various aspects of life during the Great Depression. Her photographs shed light on social conditions and economic struggles faced by communities like Nyssa. Preserved within Library of Congress archives, this heritage art piece offers us a glimpse into an era marked by recession and hardship while highlighting our evolving relationship with industry and its impact on our environment.
