EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cornshocks in mountain farm along the Skyline Drive in Virginia, ca. 1940" by Jack Delano takes us back to a simpler time in American agriculture. The image showcases a picturesque countryside scene with cornshocks standing tall against the backdrop of majestic mountains. In this snapshot from the 1940s, we witness the hard work and dedication of farmers as they tend to their land using traditional horse-drawn vehicles. The vibrant colors bring life to the cornfield, highlighting its importance as a staple crop for sustenance and livelihood. Delano's lens captures not only the beauty of nature but also sheds light on rural life during this era. This photograph was part of his documentation for both the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), showcasing how art can serve as a powerful tool for storytelling. As we gaze upon this still image, we are reminded of America's rich agricultural heritage and its deep connection to regionalism. It serves as a testament to those who worked tirelessly on these farms despite facing poverty and hardship. Preserved within the Library of Congress, this photograph stands as an enduring piece that transports us back in time while honoring those who shaped our nation through their laborious profession. Let it be a reminder that even amidst challenging circumstances, resilience and determination prevail in shaping our landscapes and communities.
