EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era. Taken in 1938 at the Louisiana State Fair, it showcases a mysterious fortune teller named Stella May. Dressed in traditional attire, she exudes an air of mysticism and intrigue. The image transports us to a simpler time when country fairs were the highlight of rural communities. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we can almost hear the laughter and excitement that filled the air. Stella May's presence is enigmatic as she sits outside her tent, ready to reveal secrets yet unknown. Her clairvoyant abilities are hinted at through her piercing eyes and serene expression. The photograph offers a glimpse into the world of occult practices that fascinated people during this period. Photographer Russell Lee skillfully captures both Stella May's individuality and the cultural context surrounding her profession. His lens highlights not only her role as a psychic but also sheds light on how entertainment was sought after during those early years. As we admire this piece from The Granger Collection, we are reminded of America's New Deal era with its focus on rural development and community engagement. This photograph serves as a testament to how even amidst economic hardship, people found solace in seeking answers about their future. Intriguingly timeless, this print invites us to ponder our own beliefs in mysticism while appreciating the rich tapestry of American history it represents.
