EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1940, we are transported back in time to a small store in Pie Town, New Mexico. The image captures Lois Stagg and her mother engrossed in the simple pleasure of browsing through greeting cards. The scene exudes a sense of warmth and familiarity as the two women stand at the counter, surrounded by shelves filled with everyday items. Their expressions reveal a genuine connection between mother and daughter, as they share this moment together amidst their daily lives. Photographed by Russell Lee, an American photographer known for his work with the Farm Security Administration (FSA), this image offers us a glimpse into mid-century America. It showcases not only the interior of a typical store but also highlights the unique charm of New Mexican culture. Pie Town itself holds historical significance as one of many communities established during President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal era. This photograph serves as a reminder that even during times of economic hardship, people found solace in simple pleasures like shopping for greeting cards. As we admire this timeless print from Granger Art on Demand, it invites us to reflect on our own connections with loved ones while appreciating the beauty found within ordinary moments captured throughout history.
