EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph taken by Jack Delano in 1941 showcases the enchanting charm of San Juan's old city. The image captures a cluster of apartment houses nestled near the grand cathedral, creating a picturesque scene that transports viewers back in time. The architectural features of these buildings are truly remarkable, with their vibrant colors and intricate balconies adding to the overall allure. Each balcony tells its own story, offering glimpses into the lives and experiences of those who once resided within these walls. Delano's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of this historic neighborhood but also its significance as a part of America's heritage. As an artist working for the Farm Security Administration and Office of War Information, Delano was tasked with documenting various aspects of American life during this pivotal period in history. Through his lens, we witness a snapshot frozen in time - streets bustling with activity, rail tracks winding through narrow lanes, and people going about their daily routines. This still image serves as a testament to both San Juan's rich cultural heritage and America's diverse urban landscape. Preserved within the Library of Congress' vast collection, this print serves as a reminder that even amidst progress and change, there is value in preserving our past. It invites us to explore history through visual storytelling while appreciating how architecture can shape our understanding of a place and its people.
