On the Town Square, Fayetteville, Arkansas, 1938
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph taken by the renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange. This image, captured during the 1930s in the United States, portrays an elderly man, dressed in work clothes and wearing a cowboy hat, standing on the town square in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The man, identified as Claude Albert Fuller, is seen holding a pocket watch and gazing intently at a campaign sign for "Fuller for Congress - Headquarters Up-Stairs." The photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the era of the Great Depression and the economic struggles faced by many Americans during this time. The man's attire, consisting of braces, work pants, and a simple shirt, reflects the hardships of rural life and the importance of practicality and durability in clothing. The cowboy hat, a common accessory in the American South, adds to the sense of tradition and resilience. The photograph was taken during a time of political uncertainty, as the country grappled with the effects of the Depression and the approach of World War II. The campaign sign for Fuller's congressional bid underscores the importance of politics and elections in shaping the future of the community and the nation. This photograph, taken by Dorothea Lange for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), is now part of the collections at the Library of Congress and the Office of War Information (OWI). It stands as a testament to the power of photography to capture the essence of a moment in history and to preserve the heritage of the American people. The image invites viewers to reflect on the past and to consider the enduring themes of politics, economics, and the human experience.
