EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Marion Post Wolcott transports us back to the rural landscape of Lexington, Kentucky in 1940. The image showcases a vast field of Burley tobacco on the farm of Russell Spears, with a drying and curing barn standing proudly in the background. The vibrant colors captured in this photograph bring to life the essence of American agriculture during this era. The golden hues of the tobacco leaves contrast beautifully against the blue sky, creating a picturesque scene that epitomizes rural life. Wolcott's composition not only highlights the natural beauty of the countryside but also serves as a testament to America's farming heritage. As we gaze upon this still image, we are reminded of the hard work and dedication required for successful farming in those times. Through her lens, Wolcott captures more than just plants; she encapsulates an entire way of life. This photo is part of Wolcott's extensive documentation for both Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), providing valuable insight into agricultural practices during this pivotal period in American history. As we admire this piece from Heritage Art collection at Library Congress, let it serve as a reminder that our country's roots lie deep within its farmlands. It is through images like these that we can appreciate and honor our nation's rich agricultural past while gaining a deeper understanding and appreciation for our present-day farming communities across America.
