Marcella Plantation, Mileston, Miss. 1939 - A Glimpse into Rural American Life
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Marion Post Wolcott takes us back to the rural countryside of Mileston, Mississippi in 1939. The image showcases Marcella Plantation, a charming wooden house nestled amidst the picturesque landscape. With its rustic shingles and inviting veranda, it exudes a sense of warmth and tranquility. In this still image captured by Wolcott's lens, we see two young boys playing on the porch barefooted - a quintessential symbol of carefree childhood in America's heartland. Their joyous spirits are palpable as they navigate the steps with ease and enthusiasm. The photograph not only captures the essence of rural life but also serves as an important historical document from that era. Commissioned by the Farm Security Administration (FSA) under the Office of War Information (OWI), Wolcott's work aimed to depict regionalism and preserve heritage art for future generations. As we gaze at this vibrant color slide from Wolcott's collection housed in the Congressional Library at The Library of Congress, we are transported back to a simpler time when communities thrived on close-knit relationships and cherished moments spent outdoors. This remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into an authentic slice of Americana - where children played freely against a backdrop of timbered landscapes and humble abodes. It reminds us to appreciate our roots while celebrating the beauty found within our own
