EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "FARMHOUSE WASHROOM, 1936" takes us back to a simpler time in rural America. The image showcases a washroom in a farmhouse near Dickens, Iowa, frozen in time by photographer Russell Lee in December of that year. The room exudes an air of rustic charm and simplicity that was characteristic of early 20th-century farm life. A worn wooden sink stands against the wall, accompanied by a towel hanging nearby for practicality. A quaint mirror reflects the humble surroundings while adding a touch of elegance to the space. As we gaze at this snapshot from history, it is impossible not to consider the context in which it was taken - during the Great Depression era. This photograph serves as a reminder of both resilience and hardship faced by rural communities during those challenging times. Russell Lee's work was part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) project initiated under President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal program. Through his lens, Lee captured everyday scenes like this washroom with great sensitivity and authenticity. This print allows us to glimpse into the past and appreciate the beauty found within simplicity. It invites contemplation on our own modern conveniences and how they contrast with earlier generations' way of life on American farms.
