EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures the resilience and struggle of flood refugees in Forrest City, Arkansas during the devastating floods of 1937. The image showcases a kitchen tent at a refugee camp, serving as a lifeline for those affected by the disaster. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness men gathered around an outdoor stove and oven, their faces etched with hunger and exhaustion. The unidentified individuals stand in line patiently, waiting to receive food from this makeshift breadline. Their tattered clothes and worn expressions speak volumes about the poverty and hardship they endured during this era of great depression. Photographed by Walker Evans in February 1937, this image is part of his iconic documentation for the Farm Security Administration (FSA). Evans was known for capturing raw emotions through his lens, shedding light on social issues plaguing America at that time. The photo serves as a poignant reminder of human strength amidst adversity. It symbolizes not only the physical refuge provided by these camps but also represents hope for better days ahead. This historical print allows us to reflect on our past while acknowledging how far we have come since then. Granger Art on Demand has preserved this significant piece of American history so that future generations can bear witness to the struggles faced by flood refugees during one of America's darkest times.
