EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "NEW HOME, 1938" captures a poignant moment in American history. Taken by renowned photographer Russell Lee in May 1938, the image showcases a former tenant farmer and his family on the front porch of their new home in rural Missouri. The composition exudes simplicity and resilience as the family is seated together on the porch, embodying both hope for a better future and gratitude for their newfound stability. The weathered exterior of the house stands as a testament to hard work and perseverance. Lee's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth to this snapshot of early American life. The play between light streaming through gaps in the wooden planks creates an ethereal atmosphere that contrasts with the rustic surroundings. As we gaze at this photograph from Granger Art on Demand, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how housing played an integral role in shaping lives during this era. It serves as a reminder of our collective journey towards progress while acknowledging those who came before us. Preserved by Library of Congress; The Crowley Company, this image offers us a glimpse into America's past - one that evokes emotions ranging from nostalgia to admiration for those who built their dreams upon humble beginnings.
