EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken by Russell Lee in 1940, we see Jim Norris, a hardworking homesteader from Pie Town, New Mexico. With his trusty knife in hand and wearing the iconic cowboy hat of the American West, Jim is shown delicately cutting a head of cabbage from his bountiful garden. The image beautifully captures the essence of rural life during the mid-20th century. Dressed in typical farm attire, Jim represents the dedicated agricultural workers who played an integral role in shaping America's farming heritage. His rugged appearance and sturdy clothing reflect both practicality and resilience as he tends to his crops with precision and care. The rich colors captured by Lee add depth to this still image, highlighting not only Jim's connection with nature but also showcasing the vibrant beauty of New Mexico's countryside. This photo serves as a testament to the hard work and dedication required for successful farming during that era. As part of Russell Lee's documentation for various government agencies such as Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), this photograph stands as a historical record depicting rural life at its core. It symbolizes regionalism while offering us a glimpse into an important chapter of American history. This remarkable print allows us to appreciate both the simplicity and complexity involved in agriculture while honoring those like Jim Norris who devoted their lives to cultivating our land.
