EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back to the year 1939, where we find ourselves in Harlingen, Texas. The image captures the essence of a tax collector's office during a time when America was grappling with the Great Depression. The architecture of the building reflects an early American style, showcasing its simple yet sturdy design. The storefront window stands as a portal into this world frozen in time. Inside, we can imagine dedicated individuals working diligently to collect income taxes from hardworking citizens. Photographer Russell Lee skillfully captured this moment in February 1939 as part of his documentation for the Farm Security Administration (FSA). This government agency played a crucial role during those challenging times by implementing President Roosevelt's New Deal policies aimed at revitalizing America's economy. The photograph serves as a reminder of how important finances were even during such trying times. It symbolizes resilience and determination amidst adversity while shedding light on the significance of taxation for sustaining public services and supporting recovery efforts. As we gaze upon this historical print, it transports us to an era that shaped our nation's history. It prompts reflection on how far we have come since then and reminds us of the enduring spirit that defines Texas and its people - resourcefulness blended with unwavering resolve.
