EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Dorothea Lange showcases a unique type of hay derrick that is characteristic of the Oregon landscape. Taken in Irrigon, Morrow County, Oregon in 1939, this image captures the essence of rural life during the Great Depression era. The photograph depicts a contraption made up of intricate machinery and lifting gear used for handling hay. The derrick stands tall against the rustic countryside backdrop, symbolizing the resilience and resourcefulness of American farmers during challenging economic times. Dorothea Lange's expertise in capturing poignant moments shines through as she beautifully frames this still image. With her keen eye for detail, Lange emphasizes not only the physicality of the hay derrick but also its significance within regional agricultural practices. As part of her work with the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and later with the Office of War Information (OWI), Lange documented various aspects of American life during this period. Her photographs became iconic representations not only showcasing specific locations but also reflecting broader themes such as economics, technology, and heritage. This particular photo serves as a powerful reminder of America's rich farming heritage while highlighting how innovation played a crucial role in sustaining rural communities throughout history. As we delve into this snapshot from our past, we gain insight into an important chapter in our nation's history - one marked by both hardship and resilience.
