EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph taken by Dorothea Lange in 1939 showcases the humble living conditions of Mrs. Hull in her one-room dugout basement home on Dead Ox Flat, Malheur County, Oregon. The image reveals a glimpse into the hardships faced by many during the Great Depression. In this poignant scene, Mrs. Hull stands proudly next to a blackboard that she acquired for her Bible verses. Her handwritten quote from Proverbs 20:11 - "Every child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right" - serves as a testament to her unwavering faith and belief in Christianity. The photo captures not only the physical aspects of Mrs. Hull's dwelling but also reflects upon the resilience and strength of individuals during challenging times. The composition highlights details such as mending needlework on display and a calendar hanging on the wall, emphasizing how even amidst economic recession, people found solace within their homes. Dorothea Lange's powerful lens immortalizes this moment in history while shedding light on the struggles faced by countless families across America during this era. Through her photography for organizations like Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), Lange became an iconic figure documenting social issues with empathy and compassion. This particular print from Heritage Images allows us to reflect upon our shared heritage while reminding us of both our past challenges and enduring spirit as we continue to navigate through uncertain times today.
