EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a slice of American history in the 1930s. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange, it showcases an abode basement dugout house on Roberts farm in the Willow Creek area of Oregon. The image portrays the stark reality of life during the Great Depression, as families struggled to make ends meet. The adobe structure stands amidst a picturesque countryside landscape, surrounded by livestock such as cows and chickens. Its mud brick walls symbolize resilience and resourcefulness in times of economic hardship. The basement cellar offers shelter and protection from the elements, serving as both a living space and storage area for necessities. Lange's lens skillfully captures not only the physical aspects but also conveys a deeper emotional narrative within this photograph. It serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by rural communities during that era. Preserved within the archives of the Library of Congress, this image is part of Lange's extensive body of work commissioned by various government agencies like Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI). Through her photography, Lange aimed to shed light on social issues while documenting America's heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Heritage Images, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how individuals persevered through adversity with determination etched on their faces - an enduring testament to human spirit even in our darkest hours.
