EDITORS COMMENTS
[Hop pickers camp?], 1939. Creator: Dorothea Lange This photo print, taken by the renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, captures a moment frozen in time during the Great Depression era in America. The image showcases what appears to be a hop pickers camp, nestled amidst the rustic countryside of Oregon. In this poignant still image, we see a cluster of wooden cabins that serve as accommodation for migrant workers who have traveled from far and wide seeking employment opportunities during challenging economic times. Their battered cars parked nearby stand as symbols of their journey and resilience. Lange's masterful composition draws attention to the stark contrast between the harsh realities faced by these impoverished individuals and the serene beauty of nature surrounding them. The dilapidated shacks reflect both poverty and resourcefulness, while also evoking a sense of community within this makeshift settlement. As part of her work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), Lange documented rural life across America with empathy and compassion. Through her lens, she shed light on social issues such as poverty, migration, and housing struggles that were prevalent during this tumultuous period. Preserved by the Library of Congress' Congressional Library collection, this photograph serves as an important historical artifact capturing not only an era but also human resilience in face of adversity.
