EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures a young girl sitting on a bed in 1936, inside the farmhouse of Edgar Allen. The image offers a glimpse into the harsh realities faced by families during the Great Depression era. The absence of sheets, pillowcases, and proper pillows is striking, replaced instead by makeshift alternatives such as castoff rags and worn-out blankets. The simplicity of the room reflects the poverty that many Americans experienced during this time. The wallpaper peeling off the walls serves as a reminder of financial hardships endured by countless families across the nation. Despite these challenging circumstances, there is an undeniable sense of resilience emanating from this young girl seated on her humble mattress. Photographed by Russell Lee as part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) project, which aimed to document rural life in America during this period, this image encapsulates both hardship and hope. It symbolizes not only one family's struggle but also represents countless others who were affected by economic downturns. In its rawness and authenticity, this photograph stands as a testament to human strength amidst adversity. It reminds us to appreciate our present comforts while acknowledging those who have persevered through difficult times before us.
