EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, showcases the Fairbanks home nestled in the picturesque Willow Creek area of Malheur County, Oregon. As a Home Management Supervisor for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), Lange captures a poignant moment as she attempts to persuade the wife to screen their tent. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness an intimate scene that reflects both the hardships and resilience of American families during the Great Depression. The dilapidated building stands as a symbol of economic struggle while horses graze nearby, reminding us of rural life's connection to nature. Lange's composition skillfully captures not only physical surroundings but also human emotion. A father figure can be seen standing beside his horse, embodying strength and determination amidst adversity. Meanwhile, children play nearby, blissfully unaware of their family's financial challenges. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when people relied on makeshift homes like tents due to poverty or recession. It serves as a powerful reminder of our nation's history and how far we have come since then. Preserved within the archives at the Library of Congress' Congressional Library collection, this photograph is part of Dorothea Lange's remarkable body of work that documented America during one its most challenging eras. Through her lens, Lange captured not just images but stories - stories that continue to resonate with viewers today and remind us never to forget our past struggles nor take our present blessings for granted.
