EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "ST. CROIX, 1941" takes us back in time to a charming street in Christiansted, St. Croix, Virgin Islands. The lens of photographer Jack Delano beautifully captures the essence of daily life during this era. In this mid-morning scene, we see a bustling street filled with pedestrians going about their day. A man dressed in his Sunday best walks confidently alongside a woman who exudes elegance and grace. They are surrounded by an array of architectural wonders that showcase the town's rich history. The signboards adorning the buildings catch our attention - one prominently displaying the iconic Coca-Cola logo reminds us of simpler times when soda was enjoyed as a special treat. It serves as a nostalgic reminder of how even amidst everyday life, small pleasures like sipping on an ice-cold Coke brought joy to people's hearts. Delano's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate not only the human subjects but also the intricate details of the surroundings. From cobblestone streets to colonial-style facades, every element adds depth and character to this snapshot frozen in time. As we immerse ourselves in this early 1940s Caribbean atmosphere, it becomes evident that beyond its aesthetic appeal lies historical significance. This photograph is part of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal initiative known as FSA (Farm Security Administration), which aimed at documenting American life during challenging times. Through Delano's lens, we are transported back to an era where
