Acre Falmouth Laborer Massachusetts Nearby Portuguese Proud Vege Table
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, the Andrews family, of Portuguese descent, proudly stands before their modest seven-acre vegetable farm located near the picturesque coastal town of Falmouth, Massachusetts. The year is 1940, and the family's latest addition to their homestead is a prized cow, which they have recently acquired. Mr. Peter V. Andrews, the patriarch of the family, works as a day laborer at a nearby Army camp, providing essential labor for the military effort during World War II. The image captures the simple yet profound joy of this hardworking family as they gather around their new bovine companion. The children, dressed in warm clothing typical of the era, appear curious and excited about their new farmhand. Their mother, with a gentle smile, looks on proudly, her arms wrapped protectively around her youngest child. The father, with a sense of accomplishment, places a hand on the cow's head, signaling the family's collective pride in their new acquisition. The small, seven-acre farm, nestled in the rolling hills of Massachusetts, is a testament to the family's resilience and determination. The vegetable table, laden with fresh produce, speaks to their dedication to their land and their commitment to providing for their family. The presence of the nearby Army camp underscores the historical context of the time, with the war effort influencing the lives and livelihoods of many rural families. This poignant photograph, captured by the Farm Security Administration (FSA), offers a glimpse into the lives of ordinary Americans during a pivotal moment in history. It is a poignant reminder of the importance of family, hard work, and the simple pleasures of rural life.
