EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Missouri: Cabin, 1938" takes us back in time to the heart of America's Great Depression era. The image showcases the humble yet resilient spirit of a sharecropper family residing in New Madrid County, Missouri. The focus is on the back of their weathered cabin, which stands as a symbol of their endurance amidst harsh economic conditions. The wooden structure exudes simplicity and practicality, reflecting the resourcefulness that was necessary for survival during those challenging times. A solitary chimney rises from the rooftop, hinting at warmth and comfort within these modest walls. A clothesline stretches across the yard, bearing witness to daily chores and hard work that sustained this working-class family. Photographed by Russell Lee in May 1938 as part of his documentation for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), this image captures not only architectural details but also tells a story about rural poverty in America's heartland. It serves as a reminder of both resilience and struggle experienced by countless families during one of our nation's most difficult periods. Through this photograph, we are transported to an early American landscape where hope mingled with hardship. It invites us to reflect upon our history while acknowledging the strength found within communities facing adversity together.
