EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time - the year is 1943, and we find ourselves inside a bustling blacksmith shop at the roundhouse of Rock Island Railroad in Blue Island, Illinois. The skilled blacksmith stands proudly at his forge, surrounded by an array of tools and equipment that speak to his trade. His denim overalls are worn with pride, showcasing years of hard work and dedication to his craft. The intense flame from the forge illuminates the scene, casting shadows on the walls as sparks fly through the air. The blacksmith's gloved hands expertly maneuver a piece of metal, shaping it with precision and skill. His goggles protect his eyes from flying debris as he works tirelessly to create or repair essential components for locomotives. This photograph by Jack Delano beautifully captures not only a moment in history but also pays homage to the working class heroes who played vital roles in America's industrial landscape during this era. It serves as a reminder of their resilience and craftsmanship amidst challenging times. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back to an era when manual labor was celebrated and admired.
