EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Possibly: Ex-lumber mill worker clears eight-acre field after bulldozer has pulled stumps. Boundary County, Idaho, 1939" captures a significant moment in American history. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange during the Great Depression era, this image showcases the resilience and determination of an ex-lumber mill worker as he single-handedly transforms a vast eight-acre field. Dressed in traditional bib overalls and a cap that shields his face from the sun's rays, the man stands proudly amidst the cleared land. His rugged appearance reflects not only his occupation but also symbolizes the hardships faced by countless farmers during this challenging period. The photograph beautifully portrays both human strength and nature's transformation. The remnants of tree stumps scattered across the field serve as a reminder of past struggles while hinting at new beginnings for agriculture in Boundary County, Idaho. Lange's masterful composition highlights not only her subject but also the surrounding countryside. The untouched beauty of rural America is evident in every detail captured within this frame – from rolling hills to open skies – emphasizing its importance to national heritage. As part of Lange's extensive documentation for Farm Security Administration (FSA), this image serves as a historical record showcasing how individuals fought against economic adversity through hard work and perseverance. It encapsulates an important chapter in American farming history while honoring those who shaped our nation's agricultural landscape with their unwavering dedication.
