EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Dorothea Lange in 1939, transports us to Adams County, Idaho. In this image, we see a Basque sheep herder descending from his summer camp with a group of pack animals. Despite the language barrier evident in his broken English, the resilience and determination of this hardworking individual shine through. The rugged countryside serves as a backdrop for this poignant moment captured by Lange's lens. The Great Depression had cast its shadow over America during this time, and it is within these challenging economic circumstances that we witness the strength of individuals like this Basque herder. Dressed in traditional apparel - a coat and hat protecting him from the elements - he navigates the farmland with expertise honed through years of experience. His gloved hands firmly grasp the reins as he leads his horses down from their mountain retreat. Lange's composition not only showcases the man's occupation but also highlights his connection to nature and heritage. This photograph becomes an emblematic representation of an era marked by struggle yet defined by unwavering spirit. Preserved within the archives of Congress' Library, Lange's work continues to resonate today as a testament to human resilience amidst adversity. It reminds us that even when faced with challenges beyond our control, there is always strength within ourselves waiting to be discovered.
