EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "PUERTO RICO: BOY, 1941" takes us back in time to a rural corner of Corozal, Puerto Rico. The image captures the essence of an era when life was simpler yet filled with hard work and resilience. In the foreground stands a young farm boy, his gaze fixed on something beyond our view. Dressed in a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, he exudes youthful energy despite the weight of his responsibilities. A straw hat sits atop his head, shielding him from the Caribbean sun as he tends to his daily chores. Surrounded by lush sugar cane fields that stretch into the distance, this portrait offers a glimpse into Puerto Rico's agricultural heritage. It reflects an era when farming played a vital role in shaping local communities and sustaining livelihoods. Photographed by Jack Delano in December 1941 during the early years of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal program, this image is part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) collection - a visual documentation project aimed at capturing America's social conditions during that period. The Granger Collection presents this historical print as an ode to Puerto Rican culture and its resilient people who have shaped their island nation throughout history. It serves as a reminder of both our shared humanity and the importance of preserving our collective past for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
