EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print of an old barn, frozen in the year 1938. Located near Summerville, South Carolina, this rustic structure tells a story of a bygone era. The faded advertisements for malarial remedies and salt on its weathered walls serve as reminders of the challenges faced by rural communities during the Great Depression. Taken by Marion Post Wolcott, a talented photographer working for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), this image captures not only the architectural beauty of the barn but also provides insight into the social and economic conditions of that time. The FSA was part of President Roosevelt's New Deal program aimed at providing relief to struggling farmers and rural Americans. The presence of groves chill tonic advertisement highlights one such struggle - malaria infection prevalent in many parts of Southeast America during that period. This photograph serves as a testament to both human resilience and ingenuity as people sought out medicinal solutions amidst adversity. Displayed here is more than just an image; it is a window into history, offering us glimpses into life on farms during early December days in 1938. Let your imagination wander as you explore every detail captured by Marion Post Wolcott's lens – from the worn-out wood panels to the tranquil countryside backdrop. Add depth and character to any space with this vintage-inspired piece from Granger Art on Demand.
