Prince Street, Christiansted - A Glimpse into the Past of St. Croix, U. S. Virgin Islands
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Jack Delano takes us back to the vibrant streets of Christiansted in 1941. The image showcases a snapshot of life on Prince Street, capturing the essence of this historic town located on the picturesque island of St. Croix in the U. S. Virgin Islands. In this colorful scene, we are transported to an era where dirt roads and quaint houses lined the neighborhood. The mountainous backdrop adds a touch of natural beauty to this Caribbean gem. As we explore every detail within this still image, it becomes evident that communication played a significant role even then. Telephone posts stand tall along Prince Street, symbolizing connectivity amidst simplicity. Delano's lens not only captures buildings but also tells stories about poverty and resilience during those times. This photograph was taken as part of his work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), documenting social conditions across America. Preserved by the Library of Congress' Congressional Library archives, this heritage art piece allows us to reflect upon our country's past while appreciating how far we have come since then. Let this remarkable print transport you back in time as you immerse yourself in the rich history and charm that once graced Prince Street in Christiansted—a true testament to both American and Caribbean culture intertwining harmoniously on these sun-kissed shores.
