EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back to the year 1936 in Ashland, Missouri. The image showcases an elderly farm couple standing proudly in front of their rustic farmhouse. The man, who is eighty-one years old, exudes wisdom and strength as he stands tall in his worn denim overalls and a weathered hat atop his head. His wife, seated beside him on a wooden chair, radiates warmth and resilience with her bonnet delicately tied under her chin. The backdrop of the farmhouse speaks volumes about their hardworking lifestyle - a testament to their dedication to the land they have cultivated for decades. This portrait captures not only the physical presence of this devoted couple but also hints at the challenges they may have faced during those difficult times - marked by economic turmoil known as the Great Depression. Photographed by Carl Mydans in May 1936 as part of President Roosevelt's New Deal initiative, this powerful image serves as a reminder of America's past struggles while simultaneously celebrating the indomitable spirit that carried its citizens through adversity. It symbolizes perseverance and unity within rural communities across America during one of its darkest periods. This print from Granger Art on Demand allows us to appreciate history through visual storytelling - reminding us that behind every face lies an untold story waiting to be discovered.
