EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "HAMBURGER GRILL, 1938" takes us back in time to a bustling concession stand at the National Rice Festival in Crowley, Louisiana. The image captures an African American cook skillfully preparing mouthwatering hamburgers on a grill. Taken by renowned photographer Russell Lee in September 1938 as part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) project, this photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of rural America during the early years of the New Deal. The scene is filled with intriguing details that transport us to another era. The cook stands proudly behind his makeshift grill inside the modest concession stand adorned with signs for Royal Crown soft drink and 7 Up. Wearing an apron and focused on his work, he embodies dedication and craftsmanship. His presence adds depth to our understanding of labor dynamics during this period. Lee's composition allows us to appreciate both the interior setting and the worker's commitment to his craft. This snapshot encapsulates not just a moment but also represents larger themes such as rural livelihoods, cultural festivals, and economic resilience. As we gaze upon this historical gem from Granger Art on Demand collection, we are reminded of how photography can freeze time while simultaneously telling stories that resonate across generations.
