EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white gelatin silver print, titled "Poster by Record Section, Suburban Resettlement, 1935-12," is a powerful visual representation of the Suburban Resettlement program during the Great Depression in the United States. Created by renowned photographer Arthur Rothstein in the 1930s, the image is part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Resettlement Administration's efforts to alleviate poverty and improve living conditions for rural populations. The poster features an arrow pointing to the shape of a suburban area, with the text "Suburban Resettlement" written in bold, Western script above. Below, the text "Record Section" is written in smaller, English letters. The image is designed to convey the idea of commuting from the city to the suburbs, with the shape of a train or bus suggested by the arrow. The poster is a testament to the political and social climate of the time, with the New Deal programs providing a safety net for millions of Americans during the Great Depression. The use of diagrams and clear, concise text reflects the emphasis on organization and efficiency that characterized the era. This historic poster is now part of the Wallach Division Picture Collection at the New York Public Library, a valuable resource for scholars and researchers studying the history of the United States during the 20th century. The image is a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by Americans during this period and the government's response to provide relief and support.
