ARKANSAS - ROADSIDE, 1935. A Glimpse into the Forgotten Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph by Ben Shahn transports us back to a desolate moment in American history. In October 1935, Shahn captured the essence of abandonment as an old automobile sits forlornly in front of a railroad crossing near Zinc, Arkansas – a once-thriving mining town now reduced to ruins. The image portrays the stark reality of life during the Great Depression, with debris scattered across a dirt road and remnants of a crumbling building in the background. The worn-out license plate on the car hints at better days long gone. As we delve deeper into this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost hear the echoes of past industry and bustling activity that once filled these streets. The tire tracks leading up to the abandoned vehicle tell tales of countless journeys taken along this forgotten road. Shahn's composition skillfully captures both despair and resilience; it serves as a reminder that even amidst hardship, beauty can be found within decay. This photograph is not just about an automobile left behind but also about an entire community left behind by progress. Through his lens, Shahn immortalizes this scene as part of our nation's history - one that reflects both struggle and hope embodied by rural America during those early years under President Roosevelt's New Deal initiatives. Let this evocative print transport you back to 1935 Arkansas - where roadsides held stories untold and dreams yet
