EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Consumers, near Price, Utah. Company housing. Rent approximately eight dollars monthly in Utah coal town," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in the 1930s during the Great Depression. The image depicts a row of modest, weathered houses huddled together against a backdrop of barren, snow-covered land. The scene is a stark reminder of the living conditions faced by many families in the coal mining communities of the United States during this era. The houses, which served as company housing for the coal miners and their families, were rented out by the coal companies for approximately eight dollars per month. The image, taken by Lange for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), documents the harsh realities of the Depression-era coal industry and the economic struggles faced by those employed in it. The photograph was taken in the small Utah coal town of Price, which was known for its collieries and timber industries. The houses, which appear to be made of wood and surrounded by snow, are a testament to the resilience of the people who lived in them despite the challenging conditions. The image was later made part of the Office of War Information (OWI) collection at the Library of Congress. Dorothea Lange, a pioneering figure in documentary photography, captured this poignant moment in American history with her camera, providing a glimpse into the lives of those who were struggling to make ends meet during the Great Depression. The image is a powerful reminder of the importance of documenting history and the impact of economic conditions on the lives of ordinary people.
