EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Jack Delano captures a moment "backstage" at the Vermont state fair in Rutland, 1941. The image showcases the vibrant and lively atmosphere of an entertainment show during that era. In this behind-the-scenes glimpse, we see a group of women performers preparing for their act, surrounded by men who are likely part of the production team. The photograph reflects the spirit of fun and leisure that was prevalent at fairs across America in the 1940s. It transports us to a time when such events were eagerly anticipated as opportunities for people from all walks of life to come together and enjoy themselves. Delano's use of color adds depth and richness to the scene, highlighting the bright costumes worn by these female entertainers. Their presence symbolizes both empowerment and creativity within a male-dominated industry. As we observe this slice of history frozen in time, it reminds us not only of our country's cultural heritage but also serves as a reminder that even amidst challenging times (such as World War II), people found solace in entertainment and community gatherings like state fairs. This remarkable image is part of Jack Delano's extensive body of work commissioned by government agencies such as Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI). Through his lens, Delano captured moments that reflect American life during one of its most transformative periods.
