EDITORS COMMENTS
GEORGIA: FARM GIRL, 1940. Capturing the essence of a bygone era, this poignant print takes us back to rural Georgia in the midst of the Great Depression. Seated inside their humble farmhouse in Greensboro, Greene County, we see a young African American girl - the daughter of a tenant farmer - immersed in her daily life. The photograph, taken by Jack Delano in June 1941 as part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) project during President Roosevelt's New Deal era, beautifully encapsulates both the struggles and resilience of those living through challenging times. In this mid-century snapshot, we witness not only an adolescent girl but also a symbol of hope amidst adversity. She sits near an open doorway with her cherished doll close at hand - perhaps providing solace and escape from the harsh realities that surrounded her family. The interior of their farmhouse reflects simplicity and modesty yet exudes warmth and familiarity. This image serves as a reminder that history is made up not only of grand events but also everyday lives lived with determination and perseverance. It invites us to reflect on our shared past while acknowledging how far we have come since then. As part of The Granger Collection's Art on Demand series, this print offers an opportunity to appreciate both the artistry behind Jack Delano's lens and its historical significance for generations to come.
