EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print captures the lively atmosphere of the Vermont state fair in Rutland, 1941. Taken by renowned photographer Jack Delano, it offers a glimpse into American entertainment and leisure during the mid-20th century. The image showcases the sprawling grounds of the fair, bustling with excitement and activity. Colorful amusement rides tower over the landscape, inviting visitors to experience thrilling adventures. Tents dotting the area house various shows and sideshows that captivate spectators with human curiosities and captivating performances. Delano's keen eye for detail is evident in this still image as he masterfully captures every element of this outdoor extravaganza. The photograph exudes a sense of nostalgia for an era when fairs were cherished pastimes that brought communities together. As part of his work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), Delano documented slices of American life during challenging times. This particular photograph not only preserves a moment in history but also highlights how people sought joy and respite from their daily lives through entertainment. Now housed within the Library of Congress' Congressional Library collection, this heritage art piece serves as a testament to America's rich cultural heritage. It reminds us that even amidst uncertainty, funfairs like these provided moments of escape where laughter could drown out worries – an enduring symbol of resilience and community spirit.
