EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Tobacco Barn, 1939" takes us back to a simpler time in rural America. The image showcases a weathered tobacco barn standing proudly against the backdrop of Person County, North Carolina. Its wooden structure exudes an air of resilience and history. What truly catches the eye is the prominent advertisement for Chesterfield cigarettes painted on the side of the barn. This bold display serves as a reminder of how deeply ingrained tobacco was in American culture during this era. It symbolizes not only the prevalence of smoking but also its economic significance to farming communities like Person County. Photographed by Dorothea Lange in July 1939, this image captures both architectural beauty and historical context. Lange's lens immortalizes a moment frozen in time - amidst the Great Depression and during Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal initiatives that aimed to revive struggling communities across America. The photograph offers us a glimpse into early 20th-century farm life, where tobacco farming played a vital role in sustaining families and local economies throughout the Southeast region. As we observe this scene from long ago, we can almost feel the warmth of summer radiating from within those aged wooden walls. Granger Art on Demand presents this remarkable piece as part of their collection, reminding us all to appreciate our shared history while reflecting on how far we have come since then.
