EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Corner of Main Street, Tenino, Thurston County, Western Washington" captures the essence of a bygone era in America. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange during the 1930s, this image is part of her extensive body of work documenting the Great Depression. In this snapshot frozen in time, Lange skillfully portrays a desolate corner on Main Street. The dilapidated buildings stand as silent witnesses to economic hardship and poverty that plagued many small towns during this tumultuous period. A weathered sign hangs above one building, hinting at its former use as a bank - an ironic reminder of shattered dreams and broken promises. Lange's keen eye for detail is evident in every element captured within the frame. From the worn-out facades to the empty streets devoid of life, she masterfully conveys a sense of despair and desolation that permeated American society at that time. As we gaze upon this haunting image today, it serves as both a historical document and a testament to human resilience. It reminds us of our collective past while urging us not to forget those who suffered through such challenging times. Preserved in the archives of Congressional Library's Heritage Art collection at the Library of Congress, this photograph continues to evoke emotions and provoke contemplation about our nation's history. Dorothea Lange's legacy lives on through her powerful images like these – capturing moments frozen in time that continue to resonate with viewers across generations.
