EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Jack Delano takes us back to the Co-op orange packing plant in Redlands, California, during the height of World War II. The image showcases a dedicated worker meticulously sorting through freshly harvested oranges, carefully picking out any discards. The photograph offers a glimpse into the bustling citrus fruit industry of 1940s America. Inside this industrial building, men dressed in their work attire can be seen diligently carrying out their tasks amidst crates filled with vibrant oranges. Their clothing reflects the fashion trends of that era - caps and shirts worn with pride. Jack Delano's expertise as a photographer is evident in his ability to capture not only the physical surroundings but also the spirit and essence of this cooperative environment. The image conveys a sense of unity and purpose as these individuals contribute to an important wartime effort. Preserved within the archives of the Library of Congress, this photograph serves as a testament to our country's heritage and industrial history. It reminds us of how communities came together during challenging times like World War II. As we admire this piece from Heritage Images, let us appreciate both its artistic value and its historical significance. Through Jack Delano's lens, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the dedication and hard work that went into sustaining one aspect of American agriculture during an extraordinary period in our nation's past.
