EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, transports us back to a significant era in American history. Titled "Part of the lineup at paymasters window. . . near Grants Pass, Josephine County, Oregon" this image offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of agricultural workers during the Great Depression. In this powerful composition, Lange skillfully captures a group of farmhands patiently waiting in line at noon to receive their daily wages from the paymaster's window. The weariness etched on their faces tells stories of hardship and struggle that were all too common during this challenging time. Amongst the crowd are children dressed in simple clothing, reminding us of the harsh reality that child labor was prevalent during those years. Their presence serves as a stark reminder of how economic circumstances forced families to rely on every available pair of hands for survival. The dilapidated building behind them stands as a metaphor for an economy ravaged by depression. Yet amidst these bleak surroundings, there is resilience and determination visible within each individual present. Dorothea Lange's masterful use of photography adds depth and emotion to this historical document. Preserved by nitrate negatives at the Library of Congress' Congressional Library archives, this photograph continues to serve as an important visual record documenting America's agricultural heritage during one its most trying times.
