EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "LODGING HOUSE, 1938" takes us back in time to a small town in Marysville, Ohio. The image captures the transformation of a humble home into a bustling lodging house during the summer of that year. Renowned photographer Ben Shahn skillfully freezes this moment in history for us to explore. The architecture of the building is strikingly mid-century American, with its sturdy brick exterior and charming balcony overlooking the sidewalk below. The facade exudes an air of simplicity and practicality, reflecting the essence of rural life at that time. As we gaze upon this snapshot from nearly a century ago, we can almost imagine the stories that unfolded within those walls. This lodging house was likely filled with travelers passing through Marysville or individuals seeking temporary shelter amidst challenging times. Shahn's lens beautifully captures not only the physical structure but also hints at the spirit and resilience found within these walls. The Farm Security Administration (FSA) label reminds us that this photograph serves as more than just an artistic piece; it documents an era marked by social change and government assistance programs aimed at supporting struggling communities across America. In collaboration with Granger Art on Demand, this print allows us to bring a piece of history into our homes while paying homage to both Shahn's talent behind the camera and those who once sought refuge within these very walls.
