EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, transports us to the Longview homestead project in Cowlitz County, Washington. As we gaze down one street of this rural community, several years after its completion, our attention is drawn to the fruit trees that line the sidewalks. These trees stand as a testament to resilience and hope amidst economic hardship. Lange's lens captures not only the physical structures of houses but also communicates a profound sense of history and human experience. The image serves as a poignant reminder of America's Great Depression era and the struggles faced by many during that time. The Farm Security Administration (FSA) commissioned Lange to document life in rural areas affected by poverty and unemployment. Through her lens, she captured the essence of this neighborhood - modest homes surrounded by gardens that provided sustenance for families facing economic challenges. As we examine this still image from nearly a century ago, it becomes evident how photography can serve as an invaluable tool for preserving heritage art. This particular print now resides within the Library of Congress' vast collection, ensuring its accessibility for generations to come. Dorothea Lange's work continues to resonate with viewers today due to her ability to capture both beauty and hardship within a single frame. In this photograph, she immortalizes not just buildings or streets but also tells stories of resilience and determination etched into every corner of Longview homestead project.
