EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Puerto Rico, Dec. 1941, San Juan" captures the essence of a bygone era in American history. Taken by renowned photographer Jack Delano during his time with the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), this image showcases the vibrant cityscape of San Juan in December 1941. In this still image, we see a block of flats lining the riverfront, creating a colorful mosaic against the clear blue sky. The buildings stand as a testament to Puerto Rico's rich architectural heritage and serve as homes for its inhabitants. Despite their modest appearance, these houses represent resilience and community spirit amidst challenging times. Delano's keen eye for detail brings out the beauty even in poverty-stricken areas. Through his lens, he captures not just physical structures but also emotions and stories that resonate with viewers today. This photograph serves as an important historical document that sheds light on life in Puerto Rico during the early 1940s. Preserved within the Library of Congress' Congressional Library collection, this work stands as a reminder of Delano's exceptional talent and dedication to capturing slices of American life during significant periods such as World War II. It is through images like these that we can appreciate both our shared past and our collective journey towards progress and prosperity.
