EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Consumers, near Price, Utah. Company housing in coal town," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1936. The image offers a poignant glimpse into the living conditions of coal miners and their families during the Great Depression. The desolate scene is set against a backdrop of barren hills and snow-covered terrain, with rows of identical, cramped company houses huddled together, seemingly abandoned and forlorn. The photograph is part of Dorothea Lange's extensive body of work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and the Office of War Information (OWI), which documented the harsh realities of rural and industrial life in America during the 1930s. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the economic struggles faced by many during this period, particularly those employed in the coal industry. The photograph's creator, Dorothea Lange, was born in Hoboken, New Jersey, in 1895. She began her photographic career in the 1920s and is best known for her evocative images of the Great Depression. Lange's work has been celebrated for its ability to capture the human spirit and resilience in the face of adversity. The photograph is a nitrate negative and is part of the Dorothea Lange Collection at the Library of Congress. It has been reproduced in numerous publications and exhibitions, including those focused on the history of the coal industry and the Great Depression. The image continues to resonate with audiences today, serving as a testament to the enduring power of photography to document and preserve history.
