EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Poster by Record Section, Suburban Resettlement Administration, 1935-12," is a powerful image created by renowned photographer Arthur Rothstein. The picture is part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) collection, which was a New Deal agency that aimed to provide relief to rural areas affected by the Great Depression. The image features a solitary man, intently focused on his calculations, seated at a desk cluttered with ledgers and papers. The man, dressed in a collared shirt and tie, wears a serious expression as he works, his brow furrowed in concentration. The room is dimly lit, with sunlight filtering in through a window, casting an ethereal glow on the man and his surroundings. The text on the poster behind him reads, "Suburban Resettlement Administration," and "Record Section," in bold, capitalized letters. The poster also includes a greenbelt symbol, which was a New Deal program that aimed to prevent urban sprawl and promote planned communities. The image is a poignant reminder of the importance of record-keeping and financial management during a time of economic hardship. The photograph, which is a gelatin silver print, is part of the Picture Collection of the New York Public Library's W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American Research, specifically the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture's Photographs and Prints Division. The image is a testament to the rich historical and cultural heritage of the United States during the 1930s and the important role that government agencies played in providing relief during a time of crisis.
