Logged over land along U. S. 99, Southern Oregon - A haunting reminder of the environmental impact during the Great Depression
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This powerful photograph captured by Dorothea Lange in 1939 showcases the devastating consequences of deforestation in Southern Oregon. The image portrays a desolate landscape where once majestic trees stood tall, now reduced to mere stumps scattered across the hills. Lange's lens transports us back to an era marked by economic hardship and environmental degradation. As America grappled with the effects of the Great Depression, logging became an industrial lifeline for many communities. However, this pursuit of economic stability came at a great cost to nature. The stark contrast between man-made destruction and untouched hills serves as a visual testament to our changing climate and its long-lasting repercussions. This photograph is not merely a documentation of felled trees; it symbolizes humanity's disregard for nature's delicate balance. Preserved within the archives of the Library of Congress, this print stands as both a historical artifact and an urgent call for reflection on our relationship with our environment. It reminds us that even in times of recession or industrial progress, we must strive towards sustainable practices that safeguard our natural heritage for future generations. Dorothea Lange's work underlines her commitment to capturing social issues through photography during this pivotal period in American history. Through her lens, she immortalized moments that continue to resonate today – reminding us all that every action has consequences which shape not only landscapes but also societies themselves
