EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, transports us to the small town of Buena in Yakima County, Washington. Nestled within the picturesque Yakima Valley, this county holds an esteemed position as the fifth highest agricultural producer in the United States. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a scene that reflects both resilience and struggle during a tumultuous era. The Great Depression had cast its shadow over America, leaving poverty and recession in its wake. Lange's lens captures a humble meat market standing proudly along the road, symbolizing the perseverance of local businesses amidst economic hardships. The image also hints at communication and connectivity with telephone wires crisscrossing above. It serves as a reminder that even in remote corners of rural America like Buena, telecommunication played an essential role in connecting communities. As our gaze wanders further into the frame, we notice an intriguing detail - a Coca-Cola sign adorning one of the shop fronts. This iconic brand represents not only refreshment but also serves as a testament to American culture and consumerism during challenging times. Preserved within the archives of Congressional Library's Heritage Art collection at The Library of Congress is this powerful photograph by Dorothea Lange – capturing not just a moment frozen on film but also preserving history for generations to come.
