EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Mass Meeting Poster, Burleigh County, North Dakota, 1937-08" 2. Description: This black and white gelatin silver print depicts a mass meeting poster created by the Farm Security Administration (FSA) in Burleigh County, North Dakota, during the summer of 1937. The poster, designed by Russell Lee for the FSA, invites farmers and workers to attend a meeting focused on their rights and occupations. The text is written in both upper and lower case letters, with the main heading in bold, capitalized letters. The poster's design is simple yet effective, featuring a strong, Western-style script and clear, easy-to-read text. 3. Context: The New Deal era in the United States, which began in 1933, was a period of significant government intervention in the economy to help alleviate the effects of the Great Depression. The Farm Security Administration, a part of the Resettlement Administration, was established to provide relief to rural areas and to help farmers and farm workers through various programs. Russell Lee, a photographer for the FSA, captured images of the daily lives and struggles of Americans during this time. 4. Significance: This mass meeting poster is a powerful reminder of the political climate and the collective spirit of the New Deal era. The image highlights the importance of community and the need for solidarity among farmers and workers during a time of economic hardship. The poster's design, with its clear and bold text, effectively conveys the message and encourages attendance at the meeting. 5. Provenance: This vintage poster is part of the Wallach Division Picture Collection at the New York Public Library. It is an important historical artifact that offers insights into the social and political landscape of the United States during the New Deal era. The poster's creator, Russell Lee, is known for his documentation of this period and his contribution to the FSA's efforts to capture the essence of American life during this time.
