Drugstore dominoes: Four men mind their dominoes at a makeshift table outside a drugstore in Mississippi Delta, Mississippi, in October 1939. Two observers, one on a bench at the left and the other with a tie, wire-rim glasses and a pen in his shirt pocket, observe the play closely. The players’ metal chairs appear to be borrowed from a soda fountain in the drugstore. Marion Post Wolcott made the photograph.

They stand in knee-deep water; the pastor has his right arm raised as he prays over the couple to be baptized by submersion. Marion Post Wolcott photographed the scene in August 1940 near Morehead, Kentucky.

Number 60: In Palm Beach County, Florida, in February 1941, Marion Post Wolcott photographed a “hotel” for Black migratory workers, who picked vegetables in the Pahokee area. Four women sit around a scrap pile in a dirt yard in front of the raised wooden building. A woman leans against a doorway, while another person looks out a window opening with a wooden door instead of glass. The number “60” is painted on the wall by the door. The door to 61 is to the right; 70 and 71 are up the poorly braced wooden stairs.

Marion Post Wolcott attended the Virginia Gold Cup Horse Race in Warrenton, Fauquier County, Virginia, in May 1941. Her 60-plus photos from the steeplechase event include images of horses, spectators and bookies. This black-and-white image shows a race judge on his horse. The judge is wearing a derby hat and plaid coat and holding a riding crop. The horse, with a docked tail and ears back, is giving side-eye to the photographer.

A good place to stop: On an assignment in Wyoming in September 1941 to photograph “cattle country and rural scenes,” Marion Post Wolcott drove into Big Piney and made this image of the town’s two-story hotel. With a plethora of signage, the Piney Hotel billed itself as “A Good Place to Stop,” especially if you were a stockman thirsty for a Blatz beer.
