EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph titled "BATHROOM, 1938" takes us back in time to a humble farmhouse bathroom at Lake Dick, Arkansas. The image was skillfully captured by renowned American photographer Russell Lee in September of that year. The photo showcases the simplicity and charm of rural life during the Great Depression era. A worn-out bathtub stands against the wall, accompanied by a rustic sink adorned with a towel rack holding neatly folded towels. The mirror above the sink reflects both light and history, revealing glimpses of daily routines and personal moments. Lee's lens beautifully captures the essence of this early 20th-century interior, highlighting its authenticity and character. This image is not just about a bathroom; it represents an entire way of life shaped by hardship yet filled with resilience. As part of his work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) under President Roosevelt's New Deal initiative, Lee documented various aspects of American society during this challenging period. Through his photographs like this one from Lake Dick, he shed light on forgotten corners across Southeast America. This print serves as a powerful reminder of our collective past while also celebrating human strength amidst adversity. It invites us to appreciate the simple pleasures found within everyday spaces and encourages reflection on how far we have come since those trying times.
