EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Jack Delano showcases the colossal Santa Fe R. R. 10 million bushel grain elevator in Kansas during the year 1943. As one's gaze is drawn towards this towering structure, it becomes evident that its immense size symbolizes the magnitude of America's industrial prowess during the Second World War. Set against a backdrop of snow-covered fields, this image encapsulates both the harsh weather conditions and the resilience of those working in the shipping industry at that time. The freight train passing by on tracks adjacent to the grain elevator adds a sense of movement and dynamism to an otherwise still scene. Delano's masterful use of color brings life to every element within this photograph. From vibrant reds and blues adorning railway cars to workers donning their practical attire, each detail contributes to capturing a moment frozen in time. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this image serves as a historical document reflecting an era when transportation played a vital role in supporting America's war efforts. By immortalizing such significant infrastructure through his lens, Delano provides us with insight into how industries like agriculture and transportation shaped our country's development during this pivotal period. Preserved within the Library of Congress' collection, this print stands as a testament not only to Delano's artistic talent but also as an enduring reminder of America's strength and determination throughout history.
