Camouflage Class at New York University - Preparing for Defense and Industry in 1940s America
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by Marjory Collins, we are transported back to the year 1943 in bustling New York City. The image showcases a camouflage class held at New York University, where both men and women gather to equip themselves with essential skills for jobs in the Army or industry during wartime. The photograph unveils a scene filled with creativity and determination as students meticulously craft models from aerial photographs. With paintbrushes in hand, they work together to develop intricate camouflage schemes that would aid in concealing vital targets from enemy eyes. This unique educational facility serves as a crucial defense measure on the home front during World War II. Amidst billowing tobacco smoke from a gentleman's pipe, young women can be seen actively participating alongside their male counterparts—a testament to their dedication towards supporting the war effort. Their presence challenges traditional gender roles of the time and highlights their invaluable contributions to national security. Marjory Collins' lens captures not only an extraordinary moment frozen in time but also reflects the spirit of unity and resilience that defined America during this tumultuous period. This powerful still image stands as a reminder of our nation's unwavering commitment towards safeguarding its people while showcasing how education played an integral role on the path toward victory.
