EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "VIRGINIA: FAMILY, 1935" takes us back to a simpler time in the heart of America. The image captures a settler family near Old Rag Mountain in Shenandoah National Park, Virginia. Taken by renowned photographer Arthur Rothstein in October 1935, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the lives of rural Virginians during the Great Depression. In the foreground stands a proud mother with her two children - a young girl and boy. The mother's worn dress and weathered face tell tales of hardship and resilience. Her gaze is steady, reflecting determination even amidst poverty. The children stand beside her; their innocent faces hint at both curiosity and uncertainty about their surroundings. The setting itself adds to the charm of this portrait. A rustic porch serves as the backdrop for this humble family scene, surrounded by lush greenery that characterizes Appalachia's natural beauty. It is evident that they have carved out a life for themselves against all odds. Arthur Rothstein's skillful composition allows us to connect with these individuals on an emotional level despite being separated by decades from their reality. This photograph reminds us of our shared history and highlights the strength found within families facing adversity. Preserved by Library of Congress' Granger Art on Demand collection, this print serves as an important reminder of America's past while honoring those who persevered through challenging times in rural Virginia during the early 20th century.
