Arthur Rothstein traveled to the Florida Keys in 1938 to document the effects of the Great Depression. His remarkable photographs of spongers, cigar makers, barbers, fishermen, residents and architecture demonstrated the frailty and the resilience of the communities along the island chain. The Key West Art & History Society presented Rothstein’s assignment at its historic Custom House Museum in 2015. It is now online.
