Mrs. Hull and corner of her one-room basement dugout, Dead Ox Flat, Malheur County, Oregon, 1939
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant photograph captured by Dorothea Lange in 1939 showcases the resilience and strength of Mrs. Hull amidst the hardships of the Great Depression. Standing in front of her humble dwelling on Dead Ox Flat, Malheur County, Oregon, Mrs. Hull's expression reveals a mixture of determination and weariness. The image focuses on a corner of her one-room basement dugout where she sought refuge from the economic turmoil that plagued America during this era. The presence of an L. &H Economy stove signifies both warmth and sustenance within these challenging times. Lange's composition emphasizes the stark contrast between Mrs. Hull's modest shelter and the vastness of the country surrounding it. This visual juxtaposition serves as a reminder that even in desolate landscapes like Dead Ox Flat, human perseverance endures. As part of Lange's documentation for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), this photograph captures not only an individual story but also reflects upon broader themes such as poverty, domesticity, and survival during a time marked by recession. Preserved within the Library of Congress archives today, this powerful image stands as a testament to Lange's ability to capture raw emotions through her lens while shedding light on forgotten corners of American history.
