EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "HOMESTEADER, 1940" we are transported back in time to Pie Town, New Mexico during the Great Depression era. The image beautifully captures Mr. Leatherman, a hardworking homesteader, as he skillfully drives two burros and a cart through the rugged landscape. The photograph by Russell Lee exudes an air of resilience and determination that defined the spirit of those living in challenging times. Mr. Leatherman's weathered face tells stories of countless hours spent tending to his farm in the unforgiving Southwest region. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost feel the weight of history on our shoulders. The worn bridle and yoke speak volumes about the resourcefulness required to make ends meet during those difficult years. Pie Town itself serves as a backdrop for this remarkable scene - a small community where individuals like Mr. Leatherman carved out their existence amidst economic turmoil. This Granger Art on Demand print allows us to appreciate not only the photographic talent of Russell Lee but also provides us with a glimpse into an important chapter in American history. It reminds us of the strength and perseverance displayed by ordinary people who faced extraordinary circumstances during one of our nation's most challenging periods - truly an inspiring testament to human resilience.
