The Schroeder Family - A Glimpse into Life on Dead Ox Flat, Oregon, 1939
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photograph taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange, we are transported back to the year 1939 in Malheur County, Oregon. The image showcases the Schroeder family standing proudly outside their new house, which can be seen across a vibrant strawberry patch. As our eyes wander through the frame, we notice young fruit trees dotting the landscape - symbols of hope and growth. Lange's lens captures not only a moment frozen in time but also tells a larger story of American agriculture during the Great Depression era. The furrows etched into the ground bear witness to hard work and resilience as farmers like Mr. Schroeder fought against economic hardships. The composition reveals an idyllic countryside setting with children playing nearby while their parents stand alongside them. This snapshot encapsulates both the struggles and joys experienced by families living off the land during that tumultuous period. Dorothea Lange's powerful imagery was part of her documentation for various government agencies such as Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI). Her photographs became iconic representations of American life during times of recession. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it serves as a poignant reminder of our shared history and heritage. Through Lange's lens, we gain insight into one family's journey amidst challenging circumstances - a testament to human perseverance in even the harshest conditions.
