EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in October 1938, we are transported back to a time when America was grappling with the challenges of the Great Depression. The image showcases a WPA Rehabilitation Client from Gage County, Nebraska, engaged in the simple act of rolling a cigarette. The man's weathered face tells a story of resilience and determination as he skillfully maneuvers his hands to create his own tobacco masterpiece. Dressed in denim overalls and donning a straw hat, he embodies the spirit of an early American farmer who has faced hardship but remains steadfast. This powerful snapshot is part of the Farm Security Administration collection that documented life during this era. It serves as a reminder of how government programs like the New Deal aimed to provide relief for those struggling through economic turmoil. As we observe this moment frozen in time, we can't help but feel empathy for this poor rehabilitation client who found solace in something as humble as rolling his own cigarette. This image captures not only an individual's struggle but also represents countless others who were impacted by poverty during these challenging times. Through Granger Art on Demand's careful preservation and presentation, we are granted access to historical photographs like these that offer us glimpses into our nation's past – reminding us both of our collective struggles and our capacity for resilience.
