EDITORS COMMENTS
VIRGINIA: GIRLS, 1935. Capturing the innocence and resilience of youth amidst the backdrop of Old Rag Mountain in Shenandoah National Park, Virginia, this poignant photograph by Arthur Rothstein transports us to a time when life was simpler yet challenging. In this snapshot frozen in time, two young sisters stand side by side, their dresses tattered and boots caked with dirt - a testament to the hardships faced during the Great Depression. Their faces reflect both determination and vulnerability as they gaze into the lens with wide-eyed curiosity. The older sister wears a worn-out hat that shields her from the sun's rays while her younger sibling clings onto her dress for support. Their bond is palpable; it is evident that they rely on each other for strength as they navigate through rural Appalachia. Rothstein's masterful composition captures not only these girls' individual stories but also serves as a window into an era marked by poverty and struggle. As we peer at this image today, it reminds us of our shared history and how far we have come since then. This print from Granger Art on Demand invites us to reflect upon our own lives while honoring those who came before us - resilient souls who persevered against all odds.
