EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Turpentine Still in the Piney Woods near Valdosta, Georgia," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in the 1930s. The image is a poignant depiction of the harsh realities of rural life during the Great Depression in the United States. The photograph shows several barrels of turpentine, a resin extracted from pine trees, arranged around a makeshift furnace in the piney woods of Georgia. The furnace, with its tall, rustic chimney, is evidence of the industrial process used to extract the resin. The men in the image, dressed in work clothes and hats, are likely involved in the turpentine production. The photograph is part of Dorothea Lange's body of work created for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and the Office of War Information (OWI) during the 1930s. Lange, a pioneering figure in American photography, is known for her evocative images of the Great Depression and the people it affected. Her work, which includes this photograph, is a testament to the resilience and determination of the American people during a time of economic hardship. The photograph is a valuable heritage art piece that offers a glimpse into the past, providing insight into the rural economy and the industrial processes that were common during the 1930s. The image is a reminder of the importance of preserving our history and the stories it tells, as well as the enduring strength and resourcefulness of the human spirit.
