EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling activity at a co-op orange packing plant in Redlands, California during 1943. Taken by renowned photographer Jack Delano, this image showcases the vibrant citrus fruit industry that thrived in America during the mid-20th century. In this vividly colored photograph, women can be seen diligently packing crates of oranges inside the industrial plant. Their presence symbolizes the significant role played by women in supporting their country's efforts during World War II. The cooperative nature of the operation is evident as they work together to efficiently pack and organize crates for distribution. Delano's lens skillfully portrays not only a snapshot of history but also highlights the importance of agriculture and industry in sustaining communities across America. The image provides a glimpse into an era when hardworking individuals labored tirelessly to contribute to both their local economy and national war effort. Preserved within the Library of Congress' collection, this still image serves as a testament to American heritage and offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on how industries have evolved over time. It reminds us of our nation's resilience and determination even amidst challenging circumstances. As we admire Delano's masterful composition, let us appreciate not just his artistic talent but also acknowledge those who dedicated themselves to building a prosperous future for all Americans through their laborious endeavors at places like this co-op orange packing plant.
