This Week’s Cover
- Stevan Dohanos’ scene is the Skowhegan State Fair, a time-tested Maine recreation which claims to be the oldest fair in the land. Founded in 1819, the fair has been held every year since, without a break. In 1943 there was a moment when it seemed likely, because of wartime restrictions on transportation, Skowhegan would be cancelled by government decree. But exhibitors of livestock came in tents such as the artist has pitched under the foreground living quarters of the fairground, from Albion, Maine. Orman Herring, with the hat, was at the fair to show Guernseys, and his cattle were taken to the fair on foot. He also brought his sheep and ribbons, as you’ll note from the trophies hanging in the tent.
