EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, transports us to the heart of Gem County, Idaho during the Great Depression. The image showcases "The sawmill" a vital establishment that symbolizes resilience and cooperation amidst economic hardship. In this snapshot of rural life, Lange captures the essence of the Ola self-help sawmill co-op, where lumberjacks work tirelessly against a backdrop of towering chimneys billowing smoke into the sky. The composition evokes a sense of industry and hard labor as these men contribute their skills to sustain their community. Lange's masterful use of photography accentuates every detail, from the worn wooden structures to the rugged faces etched with determination. Through her lens, she immortalizes an era marked by poverty and recession while highlighting how individuals came together in cooperative efforts like this sawmill to overcome adversity. As we gaze upon this heritage art piece preserved in the Library of Congress collection, we are reminded not only of Lange's talent but also her ability to tell stories through images. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder that even during challenging times, unity and collaboration can pave the way for hope and progress. Let us cherish this visual testament to human resilience as it encapsulates both historical significance and artistic brilliance within its frame.
