EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of rural life in 1940s America. In the image, we see Mr. Leatherman, a hardworking homesteader, standing proudly with his trusty work burros in front of his rustic barn in Pie Town, New Mexico. The vibrant colors and rich details bring this slice of history to life. The donkeys, affectionately known as "ass" or "burros" were indispensable companions for farmers like Mr. Leatherman during this era. These sturdy animals played a vital role in agricultural tasks such as hauling timber and other heavy loads on the farm. Mr. Leatherman's weathered face tells a story of resilience and determination that was characteristic of the American farmer at that time. His connection to the land is evident as he poses alongside his loyal burros, showcasing their importance to his livelihood. Photographer Russell Lee skillfully captured this moment through his lens while working for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI). Through images like these, Lee sought to document regionalism and preserve America's heritage during an era marked by economic challenges and war. As we gaze upon this still image from our nation's past, we are reminded of the strength and perseverance exhibited by individuals like Mr. Leatherman who shaped our country's agricultural landscape amidst adversity.
