EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time - the year is 1938, and we find ourselves in Erwin, West Virginia. The image showcases the hardworking men of this small town as they laboriously push logs up a ramp into a sawmill. Their faces are etched with determination, their bodies adorned with overalls and suspenders; these workers epitomize the spirit of American industry during this era. The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot is Marion Post Wolcott, an influential figure known for her powerful images that documented life in rural America during the Great Depression. Through her lens, she immortalizes not just the physical act of logging but also the resilience and strength of these individuals who toiled day after day to provide for their families. As we gaze upon this scene from nearly a century ago, it serves as a reminder of our nation's rich history and its reliance on industries such as logging. The river flowing nearby adds an element of serenity amidst all the hustle and bustle surrounding these workers. Granger Art on Demand presents us with yet another gem from their collection - an authentic piece that transports us back to early 20th-century West Virginia. This print allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind capturing such moments and the significance they hold within our collective memory.
