EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "ILLINOIS: TAVERN, 1938" takes us back in time to the bustling Busy Bee Tavern in Peoria, Illinois. Captured by renowned photographer Arthur Rothstein, this image encapsulates the essence of an early American tavern during the Great Depression era. The scene is filled with intriguing details that transport us to a different era. The prominent sign hanging above the entrance proudly displays the name of the establishment - Busy Bee Tavern. Its inviting glow contrasts against the darkened windows and draws our attention towards it. A Coca-Cola advertisement can be seen on one of these windows, reminding us of simpler times when enjoying a cold Coke was a treat. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from history, we notice other elements that add character to this tavern's facade. The presence of a Phillies sign indicates that tobacco and cigarettes were popular commodities at the time. This detail gives insight into what people may have enjoyed while socializing inside. Arthur Rothstein's keen eye for composition allows us to appreciate not only the subject matter but also his artistic vision as he captures this moment frozen in time. Through his lens, we are transported back to 1938 Illinois – witnessing firsthand how ordinary people found solace and camaraderie within their local taverns amidst challenging times.
