EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph takes us back to a bygone era, specifically September 1941, at the Vermont State Fair in Rutland. Behind the scenes of the girlie show, we witness a group of unidentified women sitting together in their vibrant costumes and blouses. The image was skillfully captured by renowned photographer Jack Delano as part of his documentation for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) during America's New Deal era. The atmosphere is filled with excitement and anticipation as these Caucasian performers prepare to entertain fairgoers with their talents. Their mid-century clothing reflects both style and modesty, showcasing an intriguing blend of tradition and progressiveness that defined this period. Delano's lens not only captures a moment frozen in time but also provides valuable insights into American culture during this transformative period. As we gaze upon this portrait, it becomes evident that these women were more than just performers; they were trailblazers challenging societal norms through their artistry. Granger Art on Demand presents this remarkable print from its collection, allowing us to appreciate history through visual storytelling. This image serves as a reminder of how far society has come while honoring those who paved the way for future generations. Let us cherish this snapshot from our past – a testament to resilience, creativity, and cultural evolution within Vermont's beloved state fair tradition.
