EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back in time to the vibrant atmosphere of a state fair in Rutland, Vermont, USA, during September 1941. The poster featured in the image advertises a thrilling side show act starring Ruth the Acrobat. As we gaze at this historical relic captured by Jack Delano for the U. S. Farm Security Administration, we are transported to an era where entertainment was found not only on screens but also through live performances. The poster itself is a testament to the allure of Americana and carnival culture that dominated fairs during the mid-20th century. Its retro style evokes nostalgia for simpler times when communities would gather eagerly at such events to witness awe-inspiring spectacles like acrobatics performed by talented individuals like Ruth. In this vertical composition, we see how this piece of history has been preserved through archival photography. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and offers insight into what captivated audiences decades ago. The old-fashioned charm emanating from this print invites us to appreciate both its artistic value and its significance as a news event frozen in time. As we admire this print from Circa Images courtesy of Universal Images Group (UIG), let's take a moment to reflect on how much our entertainment landscape has evolved since then while cherishing these glimpses into our past that continue to fascinate us today.
