EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Tobacco Farm, 1941" captures a poignant moment in the life of a migrant worker on a tobacco farm in Barranquitas, Puerto Rico. Taken by photographer Jack Delano in December 1941, this image offers a glimpse into the harsh realities faced by those working in the agricultural industry during that era. The unidentified man featured in the portrait stands tall amidst the vastness of his surroundings. Dressed simply and wearing a straw hat to shield himself from the Caribbean sun, he exudes resilience and determination. His weathered face tells stories of hard work and sacrifice as he labors tirelessly to make ends meet. Delano's composition beautifully showcases both the strength of this individual and his connection to nature. The sprawling tobacco fields stretch out behind him, reminding us of the backbreaking labor required for their cultivation. This photograph serves as an important reminder of Puerto Rico's rich agricultural history and its reliance on migrant workers who played an integral role in sustaining these industries. As part of The Granger Collection's portfolio, this print allows viewers to reflect upon not only one man's struggle but also larger themes such as poverty, class dynamics, and government initiatives like Roosevelt's New Deal program which aimed to alleviate economic hardships during that time period. Without mentioning commercial use or any specific company affiliation, this print invites contemplation about our shared human experiences while honoring those whose contributions often go unnoticed.
