EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "VIRGINIA: MILL, 1935" takes us back in time to the heart of rural Virginia during the Great Depression. The image captures the interior of a mill located in Nethers, nestled within Shenandoah National Park. Taken by renowned photographer Arthur Rothstein in October 1935, this photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of hardworking individuals who relied on mills for their livelihood. In this scene, we see a dedicated miller dressed in worn overalls diligently tending to his work. Surrounded by sacks of flour and other essential supplies, he stands as a symbol of resilience amidst challenging times. The rustic charm exuded by the wooden structure adds depth to the composition, transporting viewers to an era where manual labor was integral for survival. Rothstein's masterful depiction highlights not only the physical aspects but also evokes emotions tied to perseverance and determination. This snapshot serves as a reminder that even during periods marked by economic hardship, communities found ways to sustain themselves through hard work and resourcefulness. Preserved and made available by the Library of Congress with assistance from The Crowley Company, this print invites us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic merit. It is an invaluable testament to Virginia's rich heritage while honoring those who labored tirelessly within these mills - unsung heroes whose contributions shaped our nation's past.
