EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white gelatin silver print captures the excitement of the South Louisiana Fair in Donaldsonville, Louisiana, in 1938. The photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Russell Lee for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), showcases a poster advertising various agricultural exhibits at the fair. The poster's vibrant lettering, in both Western and capital scripts, draws attention to the various agricultural displays, including fruits, tomatoes, and tomato ketchup or sauce. The poster's text highlights the importance of agriculture, nutrition, and health, emphasizing the role of the New Deal in promoting these values. The image is a testament to the agricultural heritage of America during the 1930s, a time when such events provided a much-needed distraction from the economic hardships of the Great Depression. The poster's vintage aesthetic, with its clear, bold text and simple design, adds to its enduring appeal. This photograph is part of the Picture Collection of the New-York Public Library's Wallach Division, a valuable resource for researchers, historians, and anyone interested in the social, political, and cultural history of the United States.
