EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph by Walker Evans transports us back to the bustling fish market of Beaufort, South Carolina in 1936. The image showcases a weathered sign that proudly displays an array of fresh seafood offerings: Trout, Bass, Flounder, Mullett, and Oysters. The simplicity of the sign's design is juxtaposed against the intricate details captured by Evans' lens. Evans skillfully captures the essence of American life during this tumultuous period in history - the Great Depression. As part of his work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), he documented various aspects of daily life across the country. This particular photograph serves as a testament to both economic struggles and resilience. The worn-out building housing this vibrant fish market stands as a symbol of endurance amidst challenging times. It reflects not only on local commerce but also on how food sustains communities during periods marked by recession and hardship. As we gaze upon this still image from nearly a century ago, we are reminded of our shared heritage and cultural traditions surrounding seafood in America's coastal regions. Through his masterful photography, Evans invites us to appreciate not only the visual beauty but also contemplate deeper themes such as economics, trade, and aquatic life. This remarkable print now resides within the Congressional Library's collection at the Library of Congress – an enduring piece that continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm.
