EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by John Vachon in September 1939, transports us back to the early days of American folklore. Standing proudly in front of the colossal Paul Bunyan Monument in Bemidji, Minnesota is a woman whose expression exudes awe and admiration. The monument itself is a testament to the larger-than-life legend that was Paul Bunyan - a legendary lumberjack known for his extraordinary strength and tall tales. The woman's presence adds a sense of scale to this towering statue as she gazes up at its magnificence. Her posture suggests both reverence and fascination with this iconic symbol of American folk art. With her hand resting on her chin, she seems lost in thought, perhaps contemplating the tales she has heard about Paul Bunyan's incredible feats. The details captured by Vachon are remarkable - from the intricate carving on Paul Bunyan's pipe clenched between his teeth to Babe the Blue Ox standing loyally beside him. This image serves as a reminder of our nation's rich history and enduring love for legends like Paul Bunyan. Preserved through time, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only Vachon's skillful composition but also the significance of this cultural icon. It stands as an emblematic representation of America's pioneering spirit and our fascination with larger-than-life characters who embody resilience and strength.
