EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "VIRGINIA: BOY, 1935" takes us back to a different era, capturing the essence of rural life during the Great Depression. The portrait showcases one of Dicee Corbin's children at Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. Taken by renowned photographer Arthur Rothstein in October 1935, this image offers a glimpse into the hardships faced by families living in Appalachia. The young boy stands solemnly against a window frame, his ragged coat and hat reflecting the poverty that plagued many during this time. His eyes tell a story of resilience and determination despite the challenging circumstances surrounding him. Through this photograph, we are transported to an early Virginia landscape where hope mingled with despair. Rothstein's lens beautifully captures both the vulnerability and strength of this Virginian child as he gazes out onto an uncertain future. The stark contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the image, emphasizing not only the physical poverty but also its emotional toll on individuals like him. Preserved by the Library of Congress, this powerful piece serves as a reminder of our shared history and provides insight into how communities persevered through adversity during one of America's most trying times. It is a testament to human spirit and serves as an important document for understanding our past struggles while inspiring empathy for those who endured them.
