EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "SALVATION ARMY, 1939" takes us back to the bustling streets of San Francisco, California in April of that year. The image beautifully captures a Salvation Army street band in action, spreading joy and hope through their music. Photographed by the renowned Dorothea Lange as part of her work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), this snapshot offers a glimpse into an era marked by early American charity and entertainment. The musicians are dressed in uniform, proudly representing the Salvation Army's mission to aid those in need. In this scene, men and women come together under the banner of volunteerism and compassion. A guitarist strums his instrument passionately while others play accordions with fervor. Their harmonious melodies fill the city streets as they sing songs that touch hearts. The photograph not only showcases a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to the spirit of unity during challenging times. It reminds us of how art can be used to uplift communities and bring people together. As we admire this historical gem from Granger Art on Demand's collection, let it serve as a reminder that even amidst adversity, there is always room for kindness and generosity – values embodied by both the Salvation Army and photographer Dorothea Lange herself.
