EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by John Collier transports us to the serene and rustic landscape of Vadito, near Penasco, New Mexico in 1943. The image showcases a quaint chapel nestled amidst the breathtaking beauty of the American countryside. A symbol of faith and spirituality, this charming church stands as a testament to Christianity's enduring presence in rural America during the mid-20th century. Collier's expert use of color photography brings out the vibrant hues that adorn both the building and its surroundings. The crosses and crucifixes adorning the exterior serve as poignant reminders of devotion and belief within this close-knit community. As we gaze upon this still image captured by Collier, we are transported back in time to an era when religion played a central role in shaping communities across America. The Farm Security Administration (FSA) commissioned Collier for this project as part of their efforts to document life in rural areas during World War II. Through his lens, he captures not only architectural details but also a sense of tranquility that pervades this sacred space. Preserved within the Library of Congress' vast collection, this photograph serves as an invaluable piece of heritage art that allows us to reflect on our nation's history and cultural identity. It is through images like these that we can appreciate how religious institutions have long been pillars within communities throughout the United States.
