Mrs. Wardlow Finds Solace in Faith - A Glimpse into Life during the Great Depression
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this poignant photograph captured by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange, we are transported to Dead Ox Flat, Malheur County, Oregon in 1939. The image portrays Mrs. Wardlow after attending church services, her face reflecting a mixture of weariness and hope. As America grappled with the economic devastation of the Great Depression, Mrs. Wardlow's attire speaks volumes about the hardships faced by rural communities during this era. Her simple clothing and hat are indicative of the limited resources available to many families at that time. The backdrop reveals an exterior view of what appears to be a basement or dugout structure - perhaps a symbol of resilience amidst adversity. This humble dwelling serves as a reminder that even in challenging times, faith can provide solace and strength. Dorothea Lange's lens captures not only Mrs. Wardlow but also offers us a glimpse into the broader context of life on Dead Ox Flat during this tumultuous period. Through her work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), Lange documented stories like these across America, immortalizing them for future generations. This photograph is now preserved within the Congressional Library's collection as part of our heritage art archives – a testament to both Lange's talent as well as her dedication to capturing slices of American history through her lens.
