EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "VIRGINIA: PORTRAIT, 1935" takes us back to a simpler time in American history. The subject of the photograph is Mrs. Bailey Nicholson, a proud Virginian woman who embodies the spirit of resilience amidst the challenges of the Great Depression. Taken by renowned photographer Arthur Rothstein in October 1935, this portrait showcases Mrs. Nicholson on her porch in Shenandoah National Park. Dressed in an apron and bonnet, she exudes an air of early Americana charm as she gazes into the distance with determination. The image captures not only a moment frozen in time but also reflects the essence of Appalachian life during that era. Through her worn shirt and humble surroundings, we can sense both strength and vulnerability emanating from Mrs. Nicholson's presence. As part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) project initiated during the Great Depression, Rothstein's photographs aimed to document rural America and shed light on its struggles while also celebrating its beauty and resilience. This particular piece serves as a testament to Virginia's rich cultural heritage while offering viewers a glimpse into one woman's story within this historical context. Preserved by the Library of Congress, it stands as a reminder that behind every photograph lies countless untold stories waiting to be discovered by those willing to delve deeper into our nation's past.
