EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Jack Delano takes us back to the old fort built by the French in Frederiksted, Saint Croix island, Virgin Islands, in 1941. The image showcases a remarkable blend of history and architecture as we explore the remnants of an 18th-century fortification. The vibrant colors bring life to this still image, allowing us to appreciate every detail within the fort's interior. Vaulted ceilings and sturdy stone walls stand as a testament to its military significance during that era. The presence of armaments and cannons reminds us of the defensive purpose it once served. Delano's composition transports us to a time when this coastal location played a crucial role in protecting its country's interests. As we gaze at this photograph, we can almost hear echoes from centuries past whispering tales of battles fought and victories won. Preserved by the Library of Congress' Farm Security Administration and Office of War Information archives, this piece serves as both historical documentation and artistic expression. It allows viewers to immerse themselves in American heritage while appreciating Delano's skillful eye for capturing moments frozen in time. Through his lens, Delano invites us on a journey through not only physical landscapes but also into our collective memory as citizens of the United States. This print is truly an invaluable treasure that encapsulates both beauty and historical significance for generations to come.
