Farm for Sale - A Haunting Reminder of Failed Dreams in Depression-Era America
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant photograph, taken by Dorothea Lange in 1939, captures the desolate reality of a farm for sale in Boundary County, Idaho. The barren landscape tells a story of dashed hopes and economic hardship during the Great Depression. The sandy soil serves as a stark reminder that all efforts to clear and cultivate this land have been in vain. Since 1936, four families have occupied this farm, each one succumbing to failure. The dilapidated cabin stands as a testament to their struggles and shattered dreams. Lange's powerful composition draws attention to the rural setting with its rustic buildings surrounded by an old fence. This image reflects not only the physical decay but also the emotional toll experienced by those who once called this place home. As part of her work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), Lange aimed to document the harsh realities faced by farmers across America during this tumultuous period. Her photographs became iconic symbols of poverty and resilience during the Great Depression. Today, this photograph serves as a historical artifact housed within the Library of Congress' collection. It represents both an important record of our nation's past and a reminder that even amidst adversity, there is strength and determination within rural communities struggling against economic downturns.
