EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "WEST VIRGINIA: SAWMILL, 1938" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. The image showcases the Morrison Gross and Company sawmill located in Erwin, West Virginia. Taken by Marion Post Wolcott in 1938, this photograph captures the essence of early industrial America. In this snapshot, we see a man standing outside the sawmill amidst pouring rain. His presence adds a human touch to the otherwise imposing exterior of the building. Thick smoke billows out from the towering smokestacks, symbolizing the intense activity within. The composition evokes a sense of power and resilience as it portrays an integral part of West Virginia's economic landscape during that era. The sawmill served as a vital hub for timber processing and played a crucial role in shaping local communities. Through its gritty aesthetic and attention to detail, this image transports us back to an era when manual labor was at its peak. It reminds us of the hardworking men who dedicated their lives to these industries despite challenging conditions. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured by Marion Post Wolcott over eight decades ago, we are reminded of how far our society has come while appreciating those who laid down the foundation for progress.
