EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant scene from rural America in the 1930s. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange, the image is titled "Possibly: Another cut-over farm located across the road from. . . Michigan Hill, Washington, 1939". It showcases a dilapidated farmhouse situated amidst vast farmland in Thurston County. The photograph offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of life during the Great Depression. The barren fields and worn-out fence reflect economic hardship and struggle for survival. Despite this desolation, there is a glimmer of hope visible in the land planted with strawberries – an attempt to make ends meet through agricultural labor. Lange's composition skillfully captures both despair and resilience. The dirt road leading to the farmhouse symbolizes isolation while also hinting at potential opportunities beyond its reach. This image serves as a reminder of how economic downturns can devastate rural communities but also highlights their determination to persevere. As part of her work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), Lange documented American life during this challenging era. Her photographs became iconic representations of poverty and regionalism, shedding light on forgotten corners of society. Preserved by Heritage Images, this still image continues to evoke emotions even after decades have passed. It stands as a testament to Lange's talent for capturing raw human experiences and serves as an important historical record that reminds us of our collective past.
