EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back in time to the Vermont State Fair in 1941. The image showcases an old-fashioned organist, dressed in a dapper suit and top hat, passionately playing his instrument for the period dances at the fair. The crowd surrounding him is filled with people from all walks of life, seeking entertainment and recreation amidst the backdrop of rural Vermont. The photographer, Jack Delano, skillfully captures the essence of this moment during a challenging era - the Great Depression. Through his lens, we witness how music served as a source of solace and joy for those who attended this event. The sepia tones add a nostalgic touch to the scene, evoking feelings of warmth and nostalgia. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that beyond being just a state fair or an organ performance, this gathering represents resilience and hope during difficult times. It symbolizes how communities came together to find moments of happiness amidst adversity. This print by Granger Art on Demand allows us to appreciate not only the artistry behind Jack Delano's work but also offers us a glimpse into America's past - where music played an integral role in bringing people together despite their differences.
