EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, transports us to a small town called Tenino in Thurston County, Western Washington. The image captures a type of residence nestled just one block off the bustling main street. Lange's lens skillfully frames the essence of this era with its economic struggles and communication limitations. As we gaze at the photograph, we are reminded of the Great Depression that gripped America during this time. Lange's work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) documented the hardships faced by many families across the country, including those living in Tenino. This particular image showcases a modest house standing as a symbol of poverty and recession. The composition highlights not only the building itself but also its surroundings. We see telephone posts lining the street, representing limited telecommunications available to residents back then. It is through these subtle details that Lange masterfully communicates her message about life during this tumultuous period. Preserved within Heritage Art at Congressional Library's collection, this still image serves as an invaluable historical document capturing both physical structures and intangible emotions from a specific place and time. Through Dorothea Lange's lens, we gain insight into Tenino's heritage while reflecting on broader themes of resilience amidst adversity that resonate even today.
