EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania during a pivotal moment in American history. Taken by renowned photographer Walker Evans in November 1935, this image showcases the juxtaposition of life and death, industry and community. In the foreground lies a solemn graveyard, where weathered gravestones stand as silent witnesses to lives once lived. Beyond the cemetery's boundaries, rows of modest housing can be seen, representing the working-class residents who called Bethlehem home. These homes serve as a reminder that even amidst economic hardship caused by the Great Depression, communities persevered. However, it is impossible to ignore the dominating presence of steel mills in this photograph. Towering smokestacks belch out plumes of pollution into an overcast sky while powerlines crisscross above telephone poles and wires. This industrial landscape symbolizes both progress and struggle; it represents not only Bethlehem's economic backbone but also its reliance on heavy industry for survival. Evans' composition expertly captures these contrasting elements – from the peacefulness of the graveyard to the bustling activity within town limits. It serves as a visual testament to how communities like Bethlehem were shaped by their surroundings during this era marked by social change and government intervention through programs like Roosevelt's New Deal. This powerful image invites viewers to reflect upon America's past while contemplating themes such as resilience, sacrifice, and societal transformation during one of its most challenging periods.
