EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of pure Americana at the Pie Town, New Mexico Fair rodeo in 1940. In this lively scene, a man is seen tying a ribbon on a calf's tail, one of the feature attractions of the event. The image showcases the rich heritage and rural life that defined mid-20th century America. The cowboy hat-wearing man exudes an air of confidence as he skillfully ties the colorful ribbon onto the calf's tail. Surrounded by fellow cowboys and spectators, he stands proudly in his traditional attire, embodying the spirit of country living. The vibrant colors add depth to this still image from photographer Russell Lee. His work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) during this era captured slices of American life with great authenticity and regionalism. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it serves as a reminder of simpler times when community fairs brought people together for entertainment and celebration. It offers us a glimpse into an era where rural traditions thrived alongside modern advancements. Preserved by the Library of Congress' Office of War Information (OWI), Lee's photograph continues to evoke nostalgia for those who long for a connection to their roots or seek to understand America's cultural history. This piece truly embodies both artistry and documentation while showcasing an important aspect of our nation's past.
