EDITORS COMMENTS
The powerful image captured in this print titled "A MULE AND A PLOW" speaks volumes about the impact of small loans on farmers during a time of great hardship. Created by Bernarda Bryson Shahn for the Resettlement Administration, a US Federal agency established to combat the devastating effects of the Depression, this poster serves as both an advertisement and a symbol of hope. In this artwork, we see a farmer standing proudly beside his trusty mule and plow. The resilience etched on his face tells a story of determination and perseverance. Small loans provided by the administration have given him a new start, enabling him to reclaim his livelihood and rebuild his life from scratch. Bernarda Bryson Shahn's artistic talent shines through in her ability to capture not only the physical labor involved in farming but also the emotional journey that these farmers undertook. Through her brushstrokes, she conveys their gratitude towards an administration that believed in them when no one else did. This poster is more than just art; it represents a turning point for countless struggling farmers across America. It stands as a reminder that even amidst despair, there is always room for growth and renewal. As we gaze upon this print, let us remember those who fought against adversity with nothing but their determination and borrowed resources – proving that sometimes all it takes is a mule and a plow to cultivate dreams into reality.
