EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph poster, titled "Light" was created in 1937 by Lester Beal for the Rural Electrification Administration (REA). The image showcases the transformative power of electricity in rural America during that era. The poster depicts a picturesque countryside scene, with rolling hills and a quaint farmhouse nestled among lush greenery. In the foreground, a farmer stands proudly next to his newly electrified windmill, which symbolizes progress and modernization. A light bulb illuminates the scene, representing the arrival of electric power and its ability to bring brightness into people's lives. Beal's artistic style is evident in this print; he skillfully combines bold colors and clean lines to create a visually striking composition. The text on the poster reads "RURAL ELECTRIFICATION 1937" emphasizing both the year it was created and its purpose: to promote access to electricity in rural areas. This lithograph serves as an important historical artifact, documenting a significant moment in American history when electricity became more accessible across the country. It highlights how advancements like these improved living conditions for rural communities by providing them with essential resources such as lighting and power. Displayed prominently on any wall or art collection, this print from Granger Art on Demand captures not only Beal's artistic talent but also represents an important milestone in America's journey towards progress and development through electrification.
