EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "OKLAHOMA: STREET SCENE" transports us back to the summer of July 1939 in Muskogee, Oklahoma. Taken by renowned photographer Russell Lee, this image showcases a bustling street filled with storefronts that reflect the daily life during the Great Depression era. The scene depicts a vibrant Southwestern town where pedestrians stroll along the sidewalk, engrossed in their own affairs. The striped pole outside an American barbershop catches our attention as it symbolizes both tradition and modernity. It serves as a reminder of how even during challenging times, people sought comfort and routine through grooming rituals. As we explore further into this snapshot of history, we notice various signs adorning the storefronts - grocery stores offering essential goods for survival and commerce establishments striving to keep local economies alive. These signs become visual markers of resilience amidst economic hardships. Lee's photograph is not just a mere documentation but also an embodiment of hope brought about by President Roosevelt's New Deal initiatives. It captures the spirit of small-town America during its early stages when communities relied on each other for support. Displayed here as a print from Granger Art on Demand, this image allows us to appreciate both the artistic composition and historical significance behind every detail captured by Russell Lee's lens.
