EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph by Dorothea Lange transports us back to the year 1939 in Tulelake, Siskiyou County, California. The image captures a railroad yard situated behind a weathered potato shed, which serves as the launching point for Klamath potatoes on their journey across the country. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the economic struggles that plagued America during the Great Depression. The composition reveals an array of boxcars lined up along the tracks, waiting to be loaded with crates filled with precious cargo. This scene symbolizes not only the distribution of goods but also represents hope and resilience amidst challenging times. Lange's lens beautifully captures both the architectural details of these buildings and their surroundings. As we delve deeper into this photograph, we appreciate its historical significance as part of Lange's documentation for various government agencies such as Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI). Through her lens, she sheds light on social issues while preserving moments that would otherwise fade away with time. This print from Heritage Images is a testament to Lange's remarkable talent as a photographer and her dedication to capturing slices of American life during pivotal periods in history. It allows us to reflect on our past while appreciating how far we have come since then.
