EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1940 in Pie Town, New Mexico. In this snapshot of daily life, we witness a heartwarming scene at a community dinner. A homesteader woman stands proudly, serving up a delicious meal of chicken and dressing to her fellow townsfolk. The image captures the essence of unity and resilience during a time marked by hardship - the Great Depression. As families struggled across America, communities like Pie Town came together to support one another through shared meals and gatherings. Photographed by Russell Lee, an American photographer known for his work with the Farm Security Administration (FSA), this picture beautifully portrays rural life in mid-20th century New Mexico. The unidentified woman's warm smile reflects not only her dedication as she serves food but also her pride in contributing to her community. Surrounded by an exterior backdrop that showcases the Southwest's rustic charm, this photograph is more than just a documentation of daily life; it represents the strength found within close-knit communities during challenging times. As we admire this historical moment frozen in time, let us appreciate the power of coming together over food – how it nourishes both our bodies and souls while fostering connections that transcend generations.
