EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured by the talented Dorothea Lange in 1939, transports us to Adams County, Idaho. The image showcases a moment of rural life during the Great Depression era. Titled "Possibly: Pack animal coming down from summer sheep camp" it offers a glimpse into the hardships faced by farmers and their working animals. In this still image, we witness a horse descending from its summer camp in the picturesque countryside. Laden with supplies and hitched to a wooden cart, it symbolizes resilience and determination amidst economic adversity. Lange's masterful composition highlights both the rustic beauty of the landscape and the tireless efforts of these pack animals. As one of America's most renowned photographers, Dorothea Lange was known for her ability to capture raw emotions through her lens. This particular photograph is part of Lange's extensive body of work commissioned by government agencies such as Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI). Through her photography, she aimed to document social issues while also preserving America's heritage. Lange's legacy lives on through this remarkable print held at the Library of Congress' Congressional Library collection. It serves as a poignant reminder not only of our nation's past struggles but also celebrates those who worked tirelessly against all odds to build a better future.
