EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph by Russell Lee captures a slice of rural life in Pie Town, New Mexico during the 1940s. The image showcases a vibrant fruit wagon at the local fair, serving as a stark reminder of the region's dependence on outside truckers for fresh produce. In this section where no fruit is grown, the community relies on these mobile vendors to bring in their much-needed supply. The scene depicts an assortment of colorful apples beautifully arranged in wooden crates atop the wagon. A diverse group of customers can be seen engaging with the stallholder, both men and women eagerly selecting their desired fruits. The rustic charm of this countryside setting is enhanced by the presence of old-fashioned trucks parked nearby. Lee's photograph not only documents a specific moment in time but also highlights themes such as regionalism and transportation within America during this era. It serves as a testament to how communities across the country relied on trade and transport networks to access essential goods. Preserved within Heritage Art collections, this still image from Lee's collection offers viewers a glimpse into an important chapter of American history – one that celebrates resilience and resourcefulness amidst challenging circumstances.
