EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph transports us back to September 1941, where performers gather backstage at a Girlie show during the vibrant Vermont State Fair. Taken by renowned photographer Jack Delano, this snapshot perfectly encapsulates the spirit of rural entertainment in mid-century America. The image showcases a group of men attentively watching as a talented dancer effortlessly balances herself on one hand, showcasing her agility and grace. Surrounded by lush green grass and set against an exterior backdrop typical of country fairs, this scene exudes both charm and nostalgia. Delano's lens captures not only the physical prowess of these performers but also their dedication to entertaining audiences in an era marked by economic challenges. As part of President Roosevelt's New Deal initiative, which aimed to revitalize American society through various programs, this photograph symbolizes how recreation played a vital role in uplifting spirits during difficult times. With its rustic appeal and genuine depiction of rural life in North America, this print from The Granger Collection serves as a testament to our rich cultural heritage. It invites viewers to step into history for a moment and appreciate the talent, resilience, and joy that can be found even amidst adversity.
