EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Jack Delano showcases a general view of part of the yard at Bensenville, Illinois in 1943. The image captures the essence of America during the Second World War, with its industrial landscape and bustling railway system. As one's gaze wanders through the frame, it is impossible not to be drawn into the rich details that make up this historical moment. The photograph reveals a scene filled with activity and movement. A freight train can be seen passing through the railway yard, its colorful wagons carrying goods that are vital to supporting wartime efforts. The tracks stretch out into the distance, symbolizing progress and connectivity in an era defined by rapid change. Delano's mastery lies in his ability to capture not only physical elements but also intangible aspects such as time and emotion. Through his lens, we catch a glimpse of workers going about their daily tasks in this outdoor office space for transportation logistics. Their clothing reflects both practicality and style - a testament to American fashion during this transformative decade. As we observe this still image from over seven decades ago, it serves as a reminder of our country's resilience and determination during challenging times. This photograph is more than just a record; it is an invitation to reflect on our past while appreciating how far we have come as a nation.
