EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American history during the Second World War. Taken by renowned photographer Jack Delano in 1943, it showcases the intersection of two iconic railway lines - The Santa Fe R. R. and the Southern Pacific R. R. at Vaughn, New Mexico. The image portrays a mesmerizing landscape as the desert stretches out into the distance, emphasizing the vastness of this great country. A Southern Pacific RR freight train passes through Vaughn, symbolizing the vital role transportation played during wartime. Delano's keen eye for detail is evident in this still image; every element contributes to its overall impact. The vibrant colors bring life to both the natural surroundings and man-made structures, while also highlighting people's clothing attire from that era. As part of his work with Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), Delano captured not only beautiful landscapes but also documented important aspects of American life during challenging times. This photograph stands as a testament to his dedication and talent as he skillfully combines artistry with historical significance. Preserved within the Library of Congress' collection, this heritage artwork serves as a reminder of America's resilience and determination during one of its most trying periods. It invites viewers to reflect on our nation's past while appreciating how far we have come since then.
