EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Beanfield - weigh scales, pickers, and sacked beans at edge of field" transports us back to the year 1939 in West Stayton, Oregon. The skilled eye of renowned photographer Dorothea Lange captures a poignant moment in American history during the Great Depression. In this image, we witness a scene that reflects both the hardships and resilience of agricultural workers. A group of young boys can be seen laboring diligently amidst vast farmland. Their small frames are juxtaposed against towering sacks filled with harvested beans, symbolizing their contribution to sustaining America's agricultural economy. Lange's lens also captures an essential aspect of this era: child labor. These children were forced into work at an early age due to economic circumstances beyond their control. Their presence serves as a stark reminder of the social and economic challenges faced by families during this time. The composition is masterfully framed; Lange skillfully incorporates elements such as weigh scales and farmhands in the background to provide context for the viewer. This attention to detail showcases her ability not only to document but also to tell a story through her photographs. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from our nation's past, we are reminded of the enduring spirit that carried Americans through one of its most challenging periods. Dorothea Lange's legacy lives on through images like these – capturing moments that continue to resonate with audiences today.
