EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "HILLBILLY, c1900" takes us back to the rugged landscapes of West Virginia in the early 1900s. The image showcases a proud and weathered mountaineer, epitomizing the spirit of independence that defined these remote regions. With his long beard and worn attire, this mountain man exudes a sense of resilience and self-sufficiency. His gaze is steady, reflecting years spent navigating the challenging terrain of Appalachia. This photograph captures not only an individual but also represents an entire community living on the fringes of society. The backdrop reveals a breathtaking vista, with rolling hills stretching as far as the eye can see. It serves as a reminder of both the beauty and isolation experienced by those who chose to settle in these southeastern mountains during this era. Taken at the turn of the century, this image offers us a glimpse into a time when life was simpler yet harsher for these settlers. It invites us to reflect on their resourcefulness and determination in carving out lives amidst untamed nature. "HILLBILLY, c1900" is more than just a photograph; it encapsulates an important chapter in West Virginia's history and pays homage to those who embraced life on their own terms despite adversity.
