EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Georgia: Saw Mill, 1941" takes us back in time to the heart of industrial America. Captured by photographer Jack Delano in June 1941, this image showcases the Greensboro Lumber Co. in Greensboro, Georgia during a period of rapid growth and development. The focal point of the photograph is a long elevated pipe that stretches across the frame, ominously dripping fluid onto the ground below. This visual representation highlights both the early environmental concerns surrounding pollution and the impact of industry on local communities. The smokestacks rising into the sky emit billows of thick smoke, symbolizing not only progress but also potential harm to nature's delicate balance. The mid-century factory stands as a testament to American ingenuity and innovation during an era marked by economic recovery through initiatives like President Roosevelt's New Deal. Delano's keen eye for detail captures every aspect of this scene with precision - from the intricate machinery within the sawmill to workers bustling about their tasks. Through his lens, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how industries shaped our nation's history. This powerful photograph serves as a reminder that progress often comes at a cost; it prompts us to reflect on our responsibility towards preserving our environment while acknowledging past mistakes made in pursuit of prosperity.
