EDITORS COMMENTS
Barber Shop Window [with circus poster] in Birmingham, Alabama, 1937-01 - 1937-02," was captured by renowned American photographer Arthur Rothstein during the 1930s. The image is part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) collection, a New Deal agency established to provide relief to rural areas affected by the Great Depression. The photograph depicts a barber shop window in Birmingham, Alabama, adorned with a colorful circus poster. The barber shop, with its white and black exterior and Western script lettering, exudes a sense of community and small-town charm. The addition of the circus poster, with its enticing text and vibrant colors, adds an element of excitement and entertainment to the scene. The photograph is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, a time when the simple pleasures of a local barber shop and the thrill of the circus provided moments of joy and escape for people during difficult times. The image is also a testament to the power of photography to capture and preserve history, allowing us to reflect on the past and better understand the complexities of our shared cultural heritage. This gelatin silver print is part of the Record Section of the New York Public Library's W.E.B. Du Bois Division of African American and African Diaspora Studies, and is a valuable addition to the library's extensive collection of historical photographs.
