EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Chris Adolf, his team of hardworking farmers, and six of his children on their new farm in the picturesque Yakima Valley, Washington. Taken in 1939 by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange, this image showcases a slice of American agricultural history during the Great Depression era. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see Chris Adolf standing proudly alongside his team as they pose with determination and resilience. Clad in bib overalls and dungarees, they epitomize the rugged spirit of American farmers who toiled tirelessly to make ends meet during challenging times. The rustic barn behind them serves as a backdrop for this scene that exudes both strength and hope. The fence surrounding the farm symbolizes protection and security amidst an uncertain world. Lange's lens also captures the innocence and curiosity of six young children who stand beside their father. Their presence reminds us that despite economic hardships, family bonds remain steadfast even when faced with adversity. This photograph is part of Lange's extensive documentation commissioned by the Farm Security Administration (FSA) during her tenure at the Office of War Information. Through her powerful images like this one, Lange shed light on rural America's struggles while simultaneously celebrating its resilient spirit. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Heritage Art collection at Library of Congress' Congressional Library archives today, it serves as a poignant reminder of our nation's agricultural heritage and pays homage to those who worked tirelessly to build a better future for themselves and their families.
