    MS - Vintage Photo of Cotton Bales on Truck, Clarksdale, Mississippi, 1939

    $29.99
    This striking vintage photograph from 1939 captures a truckload of freshly ginned cotton bales making its way along a rural highway near Clarksdale in the heart of the Mississippi Delta. The image, taken by renowned Farm Security Administration photographer Marion Post Wolcott, documents the crucial role of cotton farming in the region's economy and culture during the Great Depression era. The neatly stacked bales, likely from the Hopson Planting Company gin, serve as a testament to the hard work and resilience of Southern cotton farmers and laborers in the face of economic adversity. Wolcott's powerful photograph offers a glimpse into the agricultural landscape and way of life in the Mississippi Delta at a pivotal moment in American history.
