EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph by Dorothea Lange takes us back to the year 1939 in Tulelake, Siskiyou County, California. The image captures the outside of a potato pickers camp, situated just across from the bustling packing shed. As we delve into this snapshot of history, our eyes are drawn to an array of signs that adorn the makeshift food stall nearby. Promising nourishment and comfort to weary workers, these signs proudly display offerings such as stew, chili, soup, pie - all at incredibly affordable prices. The scene exudes a sense of resilience amidst challenging times. Chimneys rise from various dwellings scattered throughout the campsite, symbolizing warmth and sustenance being provided within those walls. Buckets and containers lie strewn about haphazardly; remnants of hard work carried out by dedicated individuals seeking employment during the Great Depression. Dorothea Lange's powerful lens transports us to a time when economic hardships gripped America tightly. Through her poignant photography for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), she documented not only people's occupations but also their struggles and triumphs. This particular print serves as a testament to Lange's ability to capture both human vulnerability and strength through her lens. It stands as a reminder of our shared heritage - one that reflects on past challenges while inspiring gratitude for progress made since then.
