EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, showcases the Stephen brothers from Nebraska in Nyssa Heights district, Malheur County, Oregon. Joe, Jim, Eugene, and Fred Stephen are depicted standing proudly next to their newly acquired combine harvester. As good farmers with a strong work ethic, these brothers have made a significant investment in their agricultural future. The Farm Security Administration (FSA) cooperators loan enabled them to purchase this essential piece of machinery that would revolutionize their farming methods. The image captures the essence of rural America during the Great Depression era when economic hardships were prevalent. Dressed in classic denim bib overalls and coats for protection against the elements, the brothers exude resilience and determination. A flock of birds adds an element of serenity to this snapshot of farm life amidst vast countryside. Dorothea Lange's masterful composition highlights not only the individuals but also emphasizes their unity as a family unit working together towards success. This group portrait immortalizes these hardworking men who represent countless others striving to make ends meet during challenging times. Lange's lens captures both the practicality of farming equipment and its symbolic significance within American society at that time. Through her lens, she tells a story about perseverance and hope while shedding light on important social issues faced by farmers during this period. This powerful photograph is now part of the Congressional Library collection and serves as a poignant reminder of our nation's agricultural heritage and those who dedicated themselves to it.
