EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, showcases the Pelican Bay Lumber Company near Klamath Falls, Oregon. The image captures an essential element of the Northwest landscape - a towering burner that stands as a symbol of the region's industrial prowess. Just as grain elevators define the Plains, this chimney-like structure is intrinsic to sawmills like this one. Lange's lens transports us to a time marked by economic hardship - the Great Depression. Through her Farm Security Administration assignment, she documented rural life during this challenging era. In this particular photo print, Lange highlights not only the lumber industry but also sheds light on poverty and recession prevalent at that time. The composition reveals an exterior view of the sawmill with its rustic charm amidst nature's beauty. The burner serves as both a heater and disposal system for sawdust and waste generated during lumber production. Its presence signifies not just functionality but also represents regionalism and heritage tied to America's industrial past. Preserved in the archives of Congress' Library of Congress collection, Lange's work continues to be celebrated for its powerful storytelling ability. This still image invites viewers to reflect upon our nation's history while appreciating Lange's artistic vision and dedication to capturing moments that shape our understanding of American life in all its complexities.
