EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1940, we are transported to rural Utah where a group of Mormon women are diligently tacking a quilt. The image captures the essence of daily life during the Great Depression era, showcasing the resilience and resourcefulness of these women. Set against a backdrop of rustic charm, with a simple wooden table and stool as their workspace, these skilled quilters meticulously stitch together pieces of cloth to create a masterpiece that will soon be used by a sheepherder in Box Elder County. Their hands move swiftly yet purposefully, each stitch representing not only their craftsmanship but also their dedication to providing comfort for others. Photographed by Russell Lee in July 1940 as part of his documentation for the Farm Security Administration's New Deal program, this image is an invaluable snapshot into American history. It serves as a testament to the power of community and creativity amidst challenging times. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we can't help but admire the strength and unity displayed by these Mormon women. Through their quilting skills passed down through generations, they bring warmth and solace to those who work tirelessly on remote lands. This print from Granger Art on Demand encapsulates not just an artistic moment captured through Russell Lee's lens but also represents an enduring symbol of hope during difficult times.
