EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Washington, D. C. in 1942. The image captures a slice of everyday life at the Shulman Market, located on the southeast corner of N Street and Union Street S. W. A vintage 1931 Chevrolet is parked right in front, adding a touch of nostalgia to the scene. Photographed by Louise Rosskam, this snapshot offers a glimpse into an era defined by its simplicity and charm. Children can be seen enjoying their time outside the market, perhaps indulging in a refreshing bottle of Coca-Cola or Coke from one of the nearby storefronts. The composition beautifully showcases both urban and rural elements with a tree standing tall amidst the mid-century architecture. This juxtaposition highlights how Washington, D. C. , even during those early years, managed to maintain its natural beauty despite rapid development. As part of the Farm Security Administration's New Deal initiative, this photograph carries historical significance beyond its aesthetic appeal. It serves as documentation of American life during that period – capturing not only moments frozen in time but also providing valuable insight into social and economic conditions prevalent at that time. With meticulous attention to detail and masterful framing techniques, Louise Rosskam has immortalized this moment forever through her lens. This stunning print from Granger Art on Demand allows us to travel back in time and experience firsthand what it was like to walk along those vibrant streets more than seven decades ago.
