EDITORS COMMENTS
West Virginia: Bar, 1938 captures the essence of a bygone era in Scotts Run, West Virginia. This powerful photograph by Marion Post Wolcott transports us to September 1938, where we find ourselves standing outside the miners club in this coal mining community. The image showcases an early American bar with its Coca-Cola sign proudly displayed on the exterior window. The scene is filled with intriguing details that offer a glimpse into the lives of these hardworking men. A group of miners can be seen gathered around the entrance, their faces weathered from years spent toiling underground. Through the open doorway, we catch a glimpse of dimly lit interiors and hear echoes of laughter and camaraderie. Wolcott's composition skillfully juxtaposes elements such as light and shadow, highlighting both hope and hardship within this tight-knit community. The worn-out sign above the door serves as a symbol of resilience amidst challenging times. This print allows us to reflect upon America's industrial past while honoring those who labored tirelessly in pursuit of better lives for themselves and their families. It serves as a reminder that behind every historic moment lies untold stories waiting to be discovered.
