EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by the talented Dorothea Lange in 1939, transports us to Independence, Oregon during a time of economic hardship - the Great Depression. The image showcases cold storage lockers where farmers store meat and vegetables, revolutionizing the way food is preserved and eliminating much of the traditional home canning practices. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness an exterior view of these lockers that symbolize both resilience and progress. Parked alongside them are vintage automobiles from the era, reminding us of how transportation played a crucial role in connecting rural communities with urban markets. Lange's composition captures not only the physical structure but also conveys a deeper message about American society at that time. Through her lens, she documents the impact of government initiatives such as Farm Security Administration (FSA) programs on struggling farmers' lives. This poignant image serves as a testament to their determination to overcome adversity while adapting to changing economic circumstances. The stark contrast between light and shadow emphasizes both hope and despair simultaneously present during this period. Lange's masterful use of photography adds depth to every detail captured within this still image. Preserved within the archives of Congressional Library's Heritage Art collection, this photograph stands as an enduring reminder of our nation's history - one marked by resilience amidst poverty and recession. It is through images like these that we gain insight into past struggles while appreciating how far we have come in shaping our present-day agricultural practices.
