Rural Dwellers In Temperate Countries (silent,1938)

This collection of 1930s imagery vividly captures the rhythms of rural and frontier life, where natural landscapes, hard labor, and close family ties converge. It begins with scenes of men rowing boats through rapids and families unloading supplies by the river, followed by life in rustic villages and labor-intensive activities like fishing, logging, and farming. People work with primitive machinery, herding livestock, plowing fields, and harvesting crops such as wheat, cotton, and rice. The cooperation of families and communities shines through, with women and children contributing equally in tasks like gathering cotton and tending to fields. Animals like kangaroos, horses, and cattle are integral to the livelihood depicted, while the serene settings of mountains, rivers, and orchards add beauty to the toil. The images collectively tell a story of resilience, industry, and the unyielding human spirit against the backdrop of an evolving agricultural and frontier landscape.
