EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures a snapshot of life in Consumers, near Price, Utah in 1936. The image showcases the company housing provided for workers in the coal town, highlighting the stark reality of living conditions during this period. Rent was approximately eight dollars monthly, reflecting the economic hardships faced by many Americans during the Great Depression.
Dorothea Lange's powerful composition brings to light the struggles of those living in company housing, with rows of modest buildings set against a backdrop of snow-covered mountains. The photograph serves as a reminder of the impact of industrialization on communities and individuals alike.
Through her lens, Lange captures not just buildings but also a sense of resilience and perseverance among residents facing challenging circumstances. The image is a poignant reflection on American history and economics, offering viewers a glimpse into a bygone era.
As we reflect on this piece from Heritage Images, we are reminded of the importance of documenting our shared past and learning from it. Dorothea Lange's work continues to resonate today, serving as a testament to the power of photography in capturing both hardship and hope.
