EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time on "Jockey St" in Campton, Wolfe County, Kentucky in 1940. The image showcases the vibrant exchange between mountaineers and farmers as they trade mules and horses near the Court House. Marion Post Wolcott skillfully documents this scene, providing us with a glimpse into rural life during this era. The photograph portrays men dressed in traditional work attire such as bib overalls and dungarees, reflecting the fashion of the time. These hardworking individuals are engaged in buying and selling farm animals, emphasizing their reliance on livestock farming for their livelihoods. The bustling market atmosphere is palpable as people go about their business amidst a backdrop of rustic buildings and countryside charm. Wolcott's lens not only captures an agricultural transaction but also serves as a testament to regionalism and heritage art. This still image preserves the essence of rural America in the 1940s - its customs, occupations, and way of life. It offers viewers a window into an important chapter of American history when agriculture played a vital role in shaping communities. As we delve into this remarkable piece from Marion Post Wolcott's collection housed at the Library of Congress, we are reminded of how photography can preserve moments that would otherwise be lost to time. Through her lens, she immortalizes this unique intersection between mountaineers and farmers on "Jockey St. ", allowing us to appreciate their contributions to our nation's agricultural legacy.
