EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Chicago: Parking Lot, 1943" takes us back in time to the bustling city of Chicago during the mid-20th century. The image showcases a parking lot at the freight depot of the U. S. Army consolidating station, located in the heart of Illinois. Photographed by Jack Delano in 1943, this snapshot offers a glimpse into an era defined by American patriotism and industrial growth. The scene is filled with an array of automobiles and trucks, highlighting the importance of transportation in this thriving metropolis. The composition captures not only the vehicles but also a large warehouse building that stands tall against the backdrop of Chicago's skyline. Its exterior exudes strength and resilience, symbolizing America's determination during wartime. As we delve deeper into this photograph, it becomes evident that it belongs to a collection known as FSA (Farm Security Administration), which was part of President Roosevelt's New Deal initiative aimed at revitalizing rural areas affected by economic depression. Through its historical significance and artistic merit, this print transports us to a different time and place - one where hard work, progress, and unity were paramount. It serves as a reminder of our nation's past achievements while igniting curiosity about how far we have come since then.
