EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1935 showcases the resilience and strength of a Virginia family during a challenging time in American history. In the heart of Shenandoah National Park, Dicee Corbin can be seen surrounded by some of her children, creating an intimate snapshot frozen in time. The image captures the essence of rural Appalachia, with its breathtaking natural beauty serving as a backdrop to this humble family's story. Arthur Rothstein masterfully frames the scene, highlighting each member's unique personality and role within the household. Dicee Corbin exudes maternal warmth as she sits on a basin, cradling her youngest child in her arms. Her weathered face tells tales of hardship endured during the Great Depression, yet there is an undeniable sense of determination shining through her eyes. The children are dressed modestly but their spirits remain untamed. A young boy stands proudly beside his brother while their sisters sit attentively nearby. The presence of a loyal pet dog further emphasizes the bond shared between humans and animals in this close-knit community. As we gaze upon this poignant photograph, we are reminded that even amidst poverty and adversity, love and unity prevail. It serves as a testament to both individual strength and familial solidarity - qualities that have shaped countless lives throughout history. Preserved by the Library of Congress, this powerful image offers us a glimpse into one family's journey through early 20th-century America – an enduring symbol of hope amid trying times.
