EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph titled "Idaho: Basque Sheep Herder" we are transported back to the early 20th century, where a Basque sheep herder is captured in his daily life. The image showcases the resilience and determination of an immigrant shepherd as he makes his way back from summer camp in Adams County, Idaho. Dressed in traditional Basque clothing, the man stands tall amidst a picturesque landscape of rolling hills and lush grass. His pack horses patiently wait beside him, carrying their load after a season spent grazing freely in the vast fields and forests of the Northwest. Photographed by renowned documentarian Dorothea Lange in October 1939 for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), this image beautifully captures both the ruggedness of rural American life and the rich cultural heritage brought by immigrants like this Basque shepherd. As we gaze upon this timeless scene, we can't help but admire not only the sheer beauty of nature surrounding him but also marvel at his connection with these majestic animals. It serves as a reminder that despite our modern world's advancements, there are still those who rely on age-old traditions to sustain their livelihoods. This print from Granger Art on Demand offers us a glimpse into history—a moment frozen in time that tells a story of hard work, perseverance, and respect for both land and livestock.
