EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures a moment in the lives of a stump rancher and his wife, as they embark on a new beginning in Priest River Peninsula, Bonner County, Idaho. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939 during the Great Depression era, this image reflects the hardships faced by rural families striving to make a living on cut-over land. The couple stands proudly against a rustic fence, surrounded by their seven children. The worn expressions on their faces tell stories of resilience and determination amidst economic turmoil. Lange's lens beautifully captures the essence of rural life during this challenging period in American history. As part of her work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), Lange documented the struggles faced by farmers across America. Her photographs served as powerful tools to raise awareness about poverty and inequality during that time. This particular image showcases not only the physical labor involved in ranching but also highlights family values and unity within adversity. Preserved within the Library of Congress' collection, this photograph serves as an important historical document capturing both personal narratives and broader socio-economic themes. It is a testament to Lange's ability to capture raw emotions through still images while shedding light on pressing issues affecting rural communities. Dorothea Lange's legacy continues to inspire generations with her compassionate approach towards photography, making her one of America's most influential photographers from the 20th century.
