STREETCAR TERMINAL, 1939 - A Glimpse into the Lives of a Working-Class Family
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a poignant moment in time at the streetcar terminal in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Taken by renowned photographer Russell Lee in July 1939, it offers a glimpse into the lives of an American working-class family during the early years of the New Deal era. In this snapshot, we see a determined mother accompanied by her two young children as they anxiously search for their desired streetcar. The worn-out expression on her face reflects both her responsibility as a caregiver and her determination to navigate through life's challenges. The photograph beautifully encapsulates the essence of everyday struggles faced by families during that period. The mother's attire suggests modest means while highlighting her resilience amidst adversity. Her daughters stand beside her, dressed neatly but with an air of innocence that is characteristic of childhood. As we observe this scene frozen in time, we are reminded not only of the importance placed on public transportation but also how it served as a lifeline for countless families striving to make ends meet. This image serves as a powerful reminder that even within seemingly mundane moments lie stories waiting to be told. With its raw authenticity and emotional depth, this print from Granger Art on Demand transports us back to an era when hope mingled with hardship and ordinary individuals fought against all odds for their dreams.
