EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "VIRGINIA: POSTMASTER, 1935" takes us back to a simpler time in the heart of Appalachia. The postmaster at Old Rag Mountain, located within the scenic Shenandoah National Park in Virginia, is portrayed with great dignity and character. Taken by renowned photographer Arthur Rothstein in October 1935 during the Great Depression era, this image captures a slice of rural life that has long since faded away. The postmaster sits comfortably on his porch, surrounded by an aura of authenticity. His weathered face tells tales of resilience and hard work as he gazes into the distance. A worn-out hat rests upon his head while a pipe dangles from his hand, adding to the timeless charm of this snapshot. In the background stands an old wooden home with its rustic exterior blending seamlessly into its natural surroundings. A basket lies nearby, perhaps holding letters waiting to be delivered or supplies for daily living. This photograph beautifully encapsulates both the simplicity and hardships faced by those living in rural America during that period. It serves as a poignant reminder of our shared history and offers us a glimpse into a world vastly different from our own. As we admire this remarkable piece captured by Arthur Rothstein under the auspices of Library of Congress' Granger Art on Demand collection, let it transport us back to an era where community connections were forged through handwritten letters sent via horse-drawn mail carts traversing rugged terrains like Old Rag Mountain's slopes
