EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the serene beauty of the Courtyard of the Pan American Building in Washington, D. C. during the year 1943. The creator, John Collier, skillfully portrays a moment frozen in time amidst the chaos of World War II. Designed by Paul P. Cret and Albert Kelsey, this architectural marvel served as the headquarters for the Organization of American States. The image showcases a harmonious blend of nature and man-made structures, with towering palm trees gracefully framing the courtyard's centerpiece - an elegant fountain adorned with flags representing various countries including Bolivia. The vibrant colors captured by Collier's lens bring life to this historic site. As one gazes upon this still image, they are transported back to a pivotal decade in American history. The Farm Security Administration and Office of War Information played crucial roles during these times, symbolizing resilience and unity within our nation. Today, this iconic location stands proudly on the National Register of Historic Places; its significance recognized not only for its architectural brilliance but also as a tourist attraction that continues to draw visitors from around the world. John Collier's photographic masterpiece serves as a testament to America's rich heritage and reminds us that even amidst turmoil, moments of tranquility can be found if we take time to appreciate them.
