A Glimpse into Rural Life - A Farm Road on the Northern Coast of St. Croix, Virgin Islands, 1941
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by Jack Delano in 1941, we are transported to a simpler time and place - a farm road near one of the quaint villages nestled along the picturesque northern coast of St. Croix, Virgin Islands. The vibrant colors bring to life the beauty of this Caribbean island. As our eyes wander through the image, we notice a man standing beside his trusty donkey-drawn carriage, symbolizing an era when transportation relied on nature's strength rather than modern machinery. The rugged dirt road leads us deeper into the countryside where lush palm trees sway gently in the warm breeze. This snapshot offers more than just stunning scenery; it provides insight into rural life during that decade. It reminds us of America's rich agricultural heritage and highlights how people lived off the land with limited resources but abundant determination. Delano's composition captures both poverty and resilience as he documents everyday life for those living in these remote regions. This photograph was part of his work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), which aimed to raise awareness about social issues across America during World War II. Today, this still image serves as a valuable historical artifact held within the Library of Congress' Congressional Library collection. It allows us to reflect upon our past while appreciating how far we have come since then – from humble beginnings to modern advancements – all while cherishing our connection with nature and preserving our cultural roots.
