Capturing the Essence of Rural Life - St. Croix, Virgin Islands, 1941
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Jack Delano takes us back to the rural landscapes of St. Croix in the early 1940s. With a keen eye for detail and a deep appreciation for regionalism, Delano beautifully portrays an African American man riding on an ass through the picturesque countryside. The image showcases not only the stunning natural beauty of this Caribbean island but also sheds light on the daily struggles faced by its inhabitants during that era. The donkey, a working animal often associated with poverty and hardship, symbolizes their resilience and resourcefulness in making ends meet. Delano's use of color adds depth and vibrancy to this still image, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the rich heritage and culture of St. Croix. As we gaze upon these rolling hills and lush greenery, we are transported to a time when life was simpler yet filled with challenges. Through his lens, Delano captures both the physical landscape as well as the spirit of its people - proud individuals who worked tirelessly against adversity. This photograph serves as a reminder of their strength and determination amidst difficult circumstances. Preserved within the archives of Library of Congress' Farm Security Administration collection, this piece stands as a testament to Jack Delano's talent as well as his dedication to documenting America's diverse cultural tapestry during one of its most transformative periods.
