Object Description · Getty Museum

> Dorothea Lange was first introduced to the people and landscape of Utah the early 1930s by Maynard Dixon, her first husband. He took her and their two young sons there to visit Zion National Park in the southwestern corner of the state near the Arizona border. During that trip Lange photographed an elderly woman named Mary Ann Savage, one of the original Mormon settlers who arrived in 1856. Savage's story of crossing the country as a six-year old child, of being a plural wife, and of helping to build a nineteenth-century village was no doubt intriguing enough to draw Lange back to the area. She returned in 1953 to do a project for *Life* magazine for which she photographed Savage's 1936 gravestone as well as Savage's son Riley, then eighty-five years old.

What the image shows

An elderly woman sits outdoors, wearing a patterned blouse with lace trim.

Generated by LinkedCulture from the photograph alone, without the museum’s catalogue text (Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct), and not yet reviewed by a person. It describes the picture, not the object’s history, and it is not part of the museum’s record.
