EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "VIRGINIA: PORTRAIT, 1935" captures the essence of a bygone era in rural America. The image showcases Russ Nicholson, the grandfather of all the Nicholsons residing in Nicholson Hollow within Shenandoah National Park. Taken by photographer Arthur Rothstein in October 1935 during the Great Depression, this portrait transports us back to a time when life was simpler yet filled with hardships. In this striking photo print, we see an elderly Russ Nicholson standing outside his humble abode. He exudes resilience and wisdom as he gazes into the distance. Dressed in denim overalls and a worn-out jacket, he wears a straw hat that shields him from the Virginia sun. His weathered face tells stories of years spent working on these lands. The composition beautifully captures both the man and his surroundings. The rustic exterior of his home serves as a backdrop for this powerful portrait, emphasizing his deep connection to nature and Appalachia's rugged beauty. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the strength and determination that defined those who lived through challenging times such as the Great Depression. This photograph is not just an image; it is a testament to human resilience and serves as an homage to hardworking individuals like Russ Nicholson who shaped our nation's history.
