EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "CHEMIST, 1938" takes us back to a time when scientific research was conducted with meticulous attention to detail. The image showcases a chemist engrossed in running a microscopic experiment on sweet potato starch in Laurel, Mississippi. The chemist's dedication is evident as he carefully examines the sample under the microscope. Dressed in an apron and surrounded by various scientific instruments, he exudes an air of professionalism and expertise. His profile is highlighted against the backdrop of his cluttered laboratory, emphasizing his role as a dedicated worker committed to advancing knowledge through science. Taken by renowned photographer Russell Lee in November 1938 during the era of the New Deal, this photograph captures not only one man's pursuit of understanding but also represents larger themes such as early American chemistry research and regional Southeastern culture. It serves as a testament to the importance placed on scientific exploration during that time period. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how far we have come since then while appreciating the foundations laid by those who came before us. This print from Granger Art on Demand allows us to bring home a piece of history that celebrates both human curiosity and our relentless quest for knowledge.
