EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a slice of life in West Virginia during the summer of 1938. The image showcases a Sunday school picnic taking place in the small town of Jere, where families gathered to enjoy a day filled with laughter, food, and camaraderie. The scene is set against an idyllic backdrop of lush greenery and towering trees, creating a serene atmosphere for this joyous occasion. Men and women can be seen sitting around long wooden tables adorned with delicious homemade dishes. Their faces are filled with contentment as they engage in conversation while savoring their meals. In this snapshot frozen in time, one can almost feel the warmth of the sun on their skin and hear the sounds of children playing nearby. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when communities came together to celebrate shared values and create lasting memories. Photographed by Marion Post Wolcott, known for her powerful images documenting American life during the Great Depression era, this picture encapsulates not only the spirit of West Virginia but also represents a broader narrative about resilience and unity across rural America. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Granger Art on Demand collection, we are transported back to that sunny afternoon in 1938 when picnics were more than just gatherings; they were cherished moments that brought people closer together.
