EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Jack Delano in 1940, transports us to the rural landscape of Caribou, Aroostook County, Maine. The image captures a scene outside a starch factory where an impressive line of almost fifty trucks eagerly await their turn for potatoes to be graded and weighed. It is fascinating to learn that some of these hardworking drivers had been patiently waiting for a staggering twenty-four hours. The photo showcases the industrial side of America during the mid-20th century, with its rustic charm and simplicity. The men in bib overalls epitomize the hardworking spirit of this era as they go about their daily tasks amidst barrels and buildings. This slice-of-life moment offers a glimpse into the fashion clothing choices prevalent at that time. Delano's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the vastness of the countryside surrounding this starch factory and the intricate details within it. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era when road transport played a vital role in connecting rural areas like Caribou to larger cities. As we gaze upon this still image from history, we are reminded not only of America's rich heritage but also how industries such as starch manufacturing contributed to regional economies during this period. Delano's work continues to captivate viewers today through his ability to capture everyday moments infused with historical significance.
