EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of tranquility and simple pleasure on the Rustan brothers' farm near Dickens, Iowa, in December 1936. The scene shows several young children intently engrossed in their Sunday papers, spread out on the grass as they enjoy a leisurely afternoon. In the background, the convenience of modern life is evident with the sight of a running water pipe, a luxury that was not always available in rural areas at the time. The Rustan brothers' farm was once owner-operated but had since become tenants of Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. The image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the idyllic rural life of America during the 1930s. The children's focus on their papers, a common pastime for many Americans during that era, highlights the importance of staying informed and connected to the world, even in the most remote of settings. The photograph's composition effectively conveys a sense of peace and contentment, with the children's joyful expressions and the serene farm surroundings. The inclusion of the running water pipe in the background adds an intriguing layer of context, emphasizing the progress and modernization that was taking place even in rural communities during this period. Overall, this photograph is a poignant reminder of a bygone era and the simple pleasures of country living.
