EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, transports us to the Pelican Bay Lumber Company mill near Klamath Falls, Klamath County, Oregon. The image showcases a fascinating glimpse into the industrial world of timber production during America's Great Depression era. In this snapshot of history, we see a chute that conveys logs from a pond to the saw at the lumber mill. The towering chimneys in the background emit plumes of smoke, symbolizing both progress and hardship. Lange's masterful composition captures the essence of rural life and regionalism prevalent in early 20th-century America. Lange's work was part of her documentation for various government agencies such as Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), shedding light on economic struggles faced by many during this tumultuous period. Through her lens, she immortalizes not only an industry but also the impact it had on individuals living through poverty and recession. As we gaze upon this still image frozen in time, we are reminded of Lange's ability to evoke empathy through photography. Her legacy lives on as her photographs continue to be treasured pieces within our nation's heritage art collection at Congressional Library.
