EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "CATTLE AUCTION, 1940" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. The image captures a group of cattlemen gathered at an auction of prize beef steers and breeding stock in San Angelo, Texas. Taken by renowned photographer Russell Lee in 1940, this snapshot provides a glimpse into the world of cattle trade during the Great Depression era. In the foreground, we see men dressed in stylish suits and fedora hats, exuding an air of wealth and sophistication. Some are seen enjoying cigars as they engage in intense discussions about livestock prices. Their presence reflects both their economic status as well as their deep involvement in the agricultural industry. The setting is unmistakably Southwestern with its vast open space and rustic wooden structures serving as makeshift pens for the cattle being auctioned off. This scene not only showcases the resilience of farmers during challenging times but also highlights how vital these auctions were for sustaining livelihoods. Lee's composition beautifully captures the middle-class businessmen seated together, showcasing their shared passion for agriculture while embodying hope for better days ahead through prosperous sales. The photograph serves as a testament to President Roosevelt's New Deal policies aimed at revitalizing rural America during this period. Granger Art on Demand presents this historical print from their collection without any mention of commercial use or affiliation with any specific company. It allows us to reflect upon our nation's past struggles while appreciating the determination and spirit that brought communities together even amidst adversity.
