Excursion Sign, Alabama, 1936 - A Glimpse into the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Walker Evans takes us back to a small town in Alabama during the Great Depression era. The image showcases an old wooden sign that reads "Truck Excursion: Thursday July 2,1936". It advertises a delightful outing where locals could escape their economic hardships for a day of fun and entertainment. The sign's hand-painted lettering invites people to join the excursion truck departing from Lyse Cafe at 4 o'clock. The destination is Oak Grove and Union Town, promising a memorable evening of dining and dancing. The photographer captures not only the text but also the essence of hope and resilience amidst challenging times. Evans' lens transports us to this moment in history when such outings were rare luxuries for many struggling families. This photograph serves as a reminder of how people found solace in simple pleasures despite economic recession. Preserved within the Library of Congress archives, this still image offers valuable insight into American life during the 1930s. Through his work with the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), Walker Evans documented everyday scenes like this one with remarkable attention to detail. As we gaze upon this piece from Heritage Art collection today, it allows us to reflect on our own journey while appreciating those who came before us - their struggles, dreams, and moments of respite captured forever in time through
