EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Detail of occupied house. Widtsoe, Utah," was captured by the renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange during the 1930s. The image is part of the extensive collection housed in the Library of Congress, a testament to Lange's significant contribution to documenting the Great Depression era in the United States. The photograph depicts a weathered and worn wooden house, its timber frame exposed through the peeling paint and cracked walls. The house, located in the rural town of Widtsoe, Utah, stands as a symbol of the economic hardships faced by many Americans during this period. The image is a poignant reminder of the harsh realities of the Great Depression, a time of widespread poverty, unemployment, and struggle. Dorothea Lange, born Dorothea Margaretta Nutzhorn, was an influential figure in American photography. She is best known for her work with the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and later the Office of War Information (OWI), where she produced some of her most iconic images. Lange's ability to capture the human spirit and resilience amidst adversity is evident in this photograph. The photograph is a nitrate negative, a common format for photographic film during this era. The detail and texture captured in the image are a testament to Lange's skill as a photographer and her commitment to documenting the American experience during this pivotal time in history. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the past and the enduring impact of the Great Depression on the United States. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving historical records and the role of photography in shaping our understanding of history.
