EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white gelatin silver print, titled "Poster in agricultural exhibit. South Louisiana State Fair, Donaldsonville, Louisiana, 1938-10," was captured by renowned photographer Russell Lee during the Great Depression era. The image showcases a wooden poster board displaying text and diagrams, promoting the Agricultural Exhibition at the South Louisiana State Fair in Donaldsonville, Louisiana, United States. The poster, created by the Farm Security Administration (FSA), highlights the importance of agriculture and financial prosperity through the use of Western script and capital letters. The concept of the New Deal program is evident in the poster's messaging, which emphasizes the role of agriculture in the economic recovery of the United States during the 1930s. The image is a testament to the heritage of American agriculture and the political climate of the time, with the wooden background adding to the rustic, vintage feel. The text on the poster includes details about the agricultural show, such as the location and dates, as well as a diagram of a bucket with a label that reads "Prosperity," emphasizing the theme of financial success through agricultural endeavors. The image is part of the Picture Collection of the New York Public Library's Wallach Division.
