EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "VIRGINIA: MAN, 1935" takes us back in time to the heart of Shenandoah National Park. The image showcases a hardworking man standing proudly beside his loyal horse, embodying the spirit of rural America during the Great Depression. Photographed by Arthur Rothstein in October 1935, this snapshot captures an era marked by resilience and perseverance. The unidentified Virginian farmer wears worn overalls and a hat that shields him from the sun as he tends to his faithful companion. Their bond is evident in their shared gaze, reflecting trust and mutual reliance. Set against the backdrop of Appalachia's picturesque landscape, this scene evokes a sense of tranquility amidst challenging times. It serves as a reminder of simpler days when life revolved around nature's rhythms and manual labor sustained communities. The Library of Congress preserves this remarkable piece as part of its collection, allowing viewers to glimpse into history through Arthur Rothstein's lens. As we admire this photograph today, it prompts reflection on our connection with nature and reminds us that strength can be found even in the most difficult circumstances.
