NEW MEXICO - CIRCUS, 1936. A Glimpse into the Adventurous Spirit of Youth in Roswell
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a moment frozen in time during the summer of 1936 in Roswell, New Mexico. Against the backdrop of an enchanting circus tent, two young boys are caught red-handed as they daringly sneak underneath its billowing canvas walls. With mischievous grins on their faces and eyes full of excitement, these boys epitomize the spirit of curiosity and adventure that defines childhood. Photographed by Arthur Rothstein, a prominent figure associated with President Roosevelt's New Deal initiative, this image not only showcases his exceptional talent but also serves as a testament to the transformative power of art during challenging times. As part of his mission to document American life during the Great Depression era, Rothstein beautifully captures this slice-of-life moment that transports us back to a simpler time when circuses were grand spectacles that captivated communities across America. The dusty exterior surroundings hint at the ruggedness and resilience characteristic of Southwest landscapes while simultaneously providing context for this spontaneous act. This photograph is a reminder that even amidst economic hardship and uncertainty, joy can be found in unexpected places – like sneaking under a circus tent. Preserved by Granger Art on Demand from The Granger Collection archives based in NYC, this evocative print invites viewers to reflect upon their own youthful adventures while marveling at the timeless allure of circuses throughout
