EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Russell Lee in 1940, captures the essence of rural life in Delta County, Colorado. In this image, we see a group of hardworking agricultural workers gathering crates filled with succulent peaches from the orchard. The pickers carefully hand over their bountiful harvest to be hauled away to the shipping shed. The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era when horse-drawn vehicles were an integral part of daily life. A majestic horse stands patiently beside a cart loaded with crates, ready to transport these delicious fruits to their destination. The idyllic countryside serves as the backdrop for this snapshot of American agriculture at its finest. Russell Lee's lens skillfully captures not only the physical labor but also the spirit and dedication that went into farming during this time period. These men embody resilience and determination as they carry out their profession amidst nature's bounty. As we gaze upon this heritage art piece preserved by the Library of Congress' Farm Security Administration collection, it serves as a reminder of our rich agricultural heritage and pays homage to those who worked tirelessly on farms across America. This image encapsulates both a specific moment in history - the 1940s - and timeless themes such as hard work, connection with nature, and regionalism that continue to shape our country today.
