EDITORS COMMENTS
The Arnold farm, seen from road, Michigan Hill, Thurston County, Western Washington, 1939. In this photograph captured by Dorothea Lange during the Great Depression era in America, we are transported to the rural countryside of Western Washington. The image showcases the humble dwelling of the Arnold family as a traveling medicine salesman makes his call. The scene is filled with elements that depict both struggle and resilience. To the right of the house lies a thriving vegetable garden, symbolizing their determination to sustain themselves amidst economic hardships. In front of the house stands a berry patch, offering hope for additional sustenance. As our gaze extends beyond the house and across a deep gully at the back, we witness vast stretches of land that this resilient family has cleared over time. The land extends up and over the hill behind their home - an inspiring testament to their tireless efforts. Dorothea Lange's masterful composition captures not only physical landscapes but also emotions tied to poverty and recession. Through her lens, she immortalizes moments like these that reflect regionalism and document American heritage during challenging times. This poignant photograph serves as a reminder of how individuals persevered through adversity while seeking solace in nature's bounty. It invites us to contemplate themes such as occupation, economics, and rural life within historical contexts.
