EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, captures a poignant moment in rural America during the Great Depression. The image is titled "Possibly: Pack train coming down from summer camp, Washington County, Idaho" and showcases the resilience of those living in challenging times. In this snapshot of history, we see two herders leading a pack train consisting of five packhorses and three saddle horses as they make their way down from a summer camp. Four loyal dogs accompany them on their journey through the picturesque hills of Washington County. The rugged landscape serves as a backdrop to this scene that epitomizes hard work and determination. Lange's masterful composition highlights not only the physical labor involved but also the deep bond between humans and animals. It offers us a glimpse into an era when jobs were scarce, yet people found solace in working with nature. As part of Lange's extensive documentation for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) during the Great Depression, this photograph reflects her commitment to capturing images that shed light on economic struggles while emphasizing human dignity. Through her lens, she immortalized moments like these that resonate with viewers even decades later. This remarkable print from Heritage Images transports us back to a time when rural life was both arduous and beautiful—a testament to our shared heritage and collective strength during times of adversity.
