EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph taken by Dorothea Lange in 1939 showcases the potato sheds during the harvest season, situated across the road from a pickers camp in Tulelake, Siskiyou County, California. The image captures a moment frozen in time, offering a glimpse into rural life during the Great Depression. The rustic potato sheds stand tall against the backdrop of the countryside, their weathered exteriors telling stories of hard work and resilience. A sign prominently displays "A. Levy and J. Zentner Co. Potatoes" symbolizing both economic activity and regionalism within this agricultural community. In this still image, we witness workers loading sacks of potatoes onto a lorry at the loading bay outside one of these sheds. The scene speaks to the distribution challenges faced by farmers during that era as they grappled with economic recession. Dorothea Lange's powerful photography often focused on capturing moments that shed light on social issues prevalent at that time. Through her lens, she documented not only physical landscapes but also human experiences affected by larger forces such as poverty and displacement. Preserved within this nitrate negative held by Library of Congress' Farm Security Administration collection, Lange's work continues to serve as an invaluable historical record today. It reminds us of our nation's past struggles while honoring those who persevered through difficult times in rural America.
