Tools of the Trade
This image was taken at Kilgore in 1939.
There's no high drama here. Just a working man's tools at the ready for whatever the job requires.
It's a handsome image take by Russell Lee for the Farm Services Administration during the Great Depresion. A generation later he became the first photography instructor at the University of Texas.
Physical Details

This is a high quality fine art print on old-world style heavy weight, acid free, cold press watercolor paper. Each one is individually hand-numbered. The 'felt finished' surface allows the inks to 'bite', reproducing the shading and tonality of the original image vividly, beautifully, and exactly.
These inks are guaranteed color-fast for 80 years, which means you won't need to lay out the extra money for UV glass. You can hang your print in direct sun and it will be just as bright when they are passed on to the next generation as a family heirloom as it is the day it ships.
All you need to do choose any standard 18 by 24 inch frame from your local frame shop.
Like all prints in this series, it is a Limited Edition of only 254 hand-numbered, one for each county in Texas.
It's an instant heirloom.
