Looking down the Priest River Valley. . . Bonner County, Idaho, 1939
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Dorothea Lange takes us back to a defining moment in American history. The image captures the rugged beauty of the Priest River Valley in Bonner County, Idaho during the 1930s. In this vast landscape, we witness the determination of new settlers who are striving to establish their farms amidst challenging circumstances. Lange's lens transports us to an era marked by economic hardship - the Great Depression. Through her poignant composition, she sheds light on rural life during this tumultuous time. The cutover land and stumps scattered across the valley serve as reminders of both nature's resilience and human struggle. As part of her work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), Lange documents not only poverty but also hope and resilience within these communities. Her photography becomes a powerful tool for storytelling, capturing moments that speak volumes about regionalism and America's agricultural heritage. The nitrate negative used in creating this print adds depth to its historical significance. Preserved by the Library of Congress' Congressional Library collection, it stands as a testament to Lange's contribution as one of America's most influential photographers. Through Lange's lens, we are transported back in time - witnessing both hardship and perseverance etched into every corner of this rustic countryside. This still image encapsulates an important chapter in American history while reminding us that even amidst adversity, there is always strength waiting to be discovered.
