EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "VIRGINIA: INTERIOR, 1935" takes us back to a simpler time in rural America. The image captures the interior of Postmaster Brown's home at Old Rag Mountain in Shenandoah National Park, Virginia. Taken by photographer Arthur Rothstein in October 1935, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the life of an Appalachian family during the Great Depression.

A mirror hangs on the wall behind him, reflecting not only his humble abode but also symbolizing self-reflection amidst challenging times. The room exudes simplicity and rustic charm with its sparse furnishings. A dresser stands against one wall while books are neatly arranged nearby. This print transports us to a different era when life was slower-paced and people found solace within their homes.
