EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, offers a glimpse into the world of the Pelican Bay Lumber Company mill near Klamath Falls, Oregon. The image showcases a rustic industrial scene with towering chimneys and an intriguing chute that conveys logs from a pond to the saw. Lange's lens captures the essence of America during the Great Depression, as she documents the economic hardships faced by rural communities. The composition exudes a sense of regionalism and rural life, highlighting the timber industry's significance in this part of Klamath County. Against this backdrop, Lange masterfully portrays both poverty and resilience through her lens. The photo serves as a poignant reminder of how challenging times shaped American history. Lange's work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) during this era has become iconic for its ability to convey human emotion amidst difficult circumstances. This particular print is housed within the Library of Congress' collection and represents one small piece of Lange's extensive body of work. As we gaze upon this still image frozen in time, we are transported back to an era marked by recession and hardship but also characterized by strength and determination. Through her photography, Dorothea Lange immortalizes not only moments but also emotions - reminding us that even in our darkest days, there is always hope for brighter tomorrows.
