EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a unique piece of automotive history - an Automobile Ornament from 1938. The focal point of the image is a Demon radiator cap, proudly displayed in Laurel, Mississippi. Taken by renowned photographer Russell Lee in November 1938, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the early days of American automobiles. During this time, America was grappling with the effects of the Great Depression and embracing President Roosevelt's New Deal policies. This decorative demon cap serves as a testament to both innovation and style amidst challenging times. Its intricate design adds an element of evil charm to the car's exterior, showcasing how even during difficult periods people found ways to express their individuality. Lee's photograph beautifully captures not only the ornamental details but also provides insight into life in Southeastern America during that era. The image invites viewers to appreciate the craftsmanship and attention given to every aspect of automobile design. While we may never know who owned this particular vehicle or what its purpose was, one thing is certain - it stands as a symbol of resilience and creativity during an important chapter in American history. As we admire this stunning print today, let us reflect on how art can immortalize objects that tell stories beyond their physical presence.
