EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph taken by Dorothea Lange in 1939 showcases an illuminated sign on the outskirts of Fresno, California. As we approach a San Joaquin Valley town along U. S. 99, the sign proudly advertises "Fresno Home of Sunland Refining Corp. Sunland Gasoline - 'Look for the Orange Pump'". The image captures a moment frozen in time during the Great Depression era. Lange's composition skillfully highlights both the industrial and economic aspects of this scene. The electrified sign stands tall against a darkened sky, symbolizing hope amidst challenging times. Its vibrant illumination serves as a beacon to weary travelers seeking fuel for their journeys. The photograph not only documents advertising techniques of that period but also reflects Lange's ability to capture significant moments in American history through her lens. As part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) project, she aimed to shed light on social issues and raise awareness about rural poverty during this tumultuous time. Through her masterful use of lighting and contrast, Lange invites viewers to contemplate both the physical landscape and its underlying narrative. This image becomes more than just an advertisement; it becomes a visual representation of resilience and determination within America's heartland. As we gaze upon this vintage print from Heritage Images, we are transported back to an era marked by struggle yet defined by unwavering spirit – reminding us that even in darkness, there is always room for illumination and progress.
