EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by the talented Gordon Parks in 1943, showcases a remarkable woman who claims to be 104 years old. The image transports us back to Daytona Beach, Florida during the mid-20th century. Dressed elegantly in her fur-trimmed coat and stylish hat, this African American centenarian exudes grace and wisdom. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of an era marked by its fashion clothing and accessories. The elderly woman's dark glasses add an air of mystery to her already intriguing persona. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but admire her resilience and strength as she stands proudly against the backdrop of a changing country. Gordon Parks' expertise behind the lens is evident in his ability to capture not only a portrait but also a story within each frame. This particular image was taken during his work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), where he documented various aspects of American life. Preserved within the Library of Congress' collection, this nitrate negative serves as a testament to both Parks' artistic vision and his dedication to capturing diverse voices through photography. It allows us to reflect on our shared heritage while celebrating individual stories that have shaped America's rich tapestry. As we gaze upon this powerful portrait, let us honor not only the subject's longevity but also acknowledge all those who have contributed their unique narratives throughout history.
