EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "MISSOURI: FARMERS, 1938" transports us back to a simpler time in Caruthersville, Missouri. Taken by the talented photographer Russell Lee in August of that year, this image captures a slice of daily life during the Great Depression era. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see a group of hardworking farmers standing at a street corner. Dressed in their denim overalls and hats to shield them from the summer sun, these men exude resilience and determination. The worn sidewalk beneath their feet tells tales of countless footsteps taken on this very spot. The scene is reminiscent of an early morning gathering before they embark on another day's work tending to their crops or livestock. Their camaraderie is evident as they engage in conversation while leaning against the buildings that line the street. As we observe this photograph, it serves as a powerful reminder of both the challenges faced by rural communities during those difficult times and the spirit that kept them going. It also symbolizes hope for better days ahead through initiatives like President Roosevelt's New Deal program which aimed to alleviate poverty and stimulate economic recovery across America. This print from Granger Art on Demand allows us to connect with history and appreciate the strength and unity exhibited by these resilient farmers who played such an integral role in shaping our nation's agricultural heritage.
