EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured by Jack Delano in 1941, transports us to the sugar cane fields near Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico. In this powerful image, we witness the toil and determination of FSA farmers as they work together in a cooperative effort. The scene is filled with a sense of purpose and resilience as these hardworking agricultural laborers harvest the bountiful crops that sustain their community. The vast expanse of farmland stretches out before them, reminding us of the immense beauty and importance of rural life. Delano's composition skillfully captures both the individuality and unity among these men. Each figure stands tall amidst the swaying sugar cane plants, symbolizing their dedication to their profession despite facing poverty and hardship. Through his lens, Delano not only documents an important moment in American history but also highlights the strength found within communities working together towards a common goal. This photograph serves as a testament to human perseverance against adversity. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Heritage Art collection at Library of Congress' Congressional Library archives, let us reflect on our own connection to nature and appreciate those who dedicate themselves to cultivating our land.
