EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Russell Lee takes us back to the main street of Cascade, Idaho in 1941. The image captures the essence of small-town America during this era, with its charming buildings and bustling atmosphere. As we gaze at the scene, our eyes are drawn to a variety of signs that adorn the storefronts: "Beer" "Pool" "Cards" "Candy" and "Tobacco" catch our attention, reflecting popular pastimes and indulgences of the time. The architectural details add character to this snapshot from history. Canopies stretch across the sidewalk, providing shade for pedestrians as they stroll along Main Street. A drug store named Whetson Drug Co. , Dees Cafe, and Cascade Club beckon passersby with their inviting facades. The presence of cars parked along the road reminds us of how transportation has evolved over time. Russell Lee's photograph not only freezes a moment in time but also offers a glimpse into American culture during this period. It is an evocative reminder of simpler times when community life revolved around local businesses like these on Main Street. This image serves as a valuable record preserved within the Library of Congress' collection, allowing us to appreciate both Lee's artistry and his contribution to documenting America's heritage.
