EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Dorothea Lange in 1939, we are transported to the picturesque countryside near Independence, Polk County, Oregon. The image showcases a sprawling hop vine at picking time, symbolizing the essence of American agriculture during the Great Depression era. Lange's lens beautifully captures the climbing plant as it reaches towards the sky, showcasing its resilience and determination amidst challenging times. The common hop, scientifically known as Humulus lupulus, is an essential ingredient in brewing and holds significant economic value. The photograph not only documents nature's bounty but also serves as a poignant reminder of the hardships faced by farmers during this period. Lange was renowned for her ability to capture raw emotions through her lens and shed light on socio-economic issues prevalent in America at that time. This still image from Lange's collection held at the Library of Congress stands as a testament to her legacy as one of America's most influential photographers. Through her work with Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), she documented rural life across the United States with unparalleled sensitivity. As we gaze upon this historic photograph today, we are reminded of our agricultural heritage and how it has shaped our nation. It serves as a visual representation of hope amidst adversity while honoring Dorothea Lange's remarkable contribution to photography and storytelling.
