EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Pickers in a peach orchard, Delta County, Colo. 1940" by Russell Lee takes us back to the heart of American agriculture in the 1940s. The image showcases a group of hardworking men laboring amidst rows of lush peach trees in Delta County, Colorado. The scene exudes a sense of tranquility as we witness these farmhands diligently carrying out their profession. With horse-drawn carts nearby and ladders propped against the trees, it is evident that every aspect of this harvest was done with care and precision. Lee's skillful use of contrast brings attention to the intricate details within the frame - from the texture on each individual fruit to the weathered faces of these dedicated workers. Their presence reminds us of America's rich farming heritage and its reliance on such diligent individuals who played an integral role in shaping our nation. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an era where manual labor prevailed over modern machinery. This photograph serves as a testament to both human resilience and nature's bounty. Preserved by the Library of Congress' Farm Security Administration collection, this piece stands as a valuable historical document capturing not only rural life but also reflecting societal values during that period. It reminds us that behind every succulent peach lies countless hours spent under sunlit canopies - a tribute to those unsung heroes who nourish our land with their unwavering dedication.
