The Virgin Islands, sugar cane country, 1941
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating snapshot of rural life in the Caribbean during the mid-20th century. This vibrant color photograph, taken by Jack Delano, showcases the breathtaking beauty of the American Virgin Islands and their rich agricultural heritage. In this image, we are transported to a picturesque sugar plantation nestled amidst rolling mountains and lush fields. The cloud-dotted sky adds an ethereal touch to the scene, enhancing its natural splendor. The charming houses dotting the landscape exude rustic charm and offer a glimpse into island life at that time. Delano's masterful composition captures not only the physical beauty of this location but also hints at its historical significance. As part of his work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), Delano documented various aspects of American life during World War II. This particular photograph serves as a testament to both America's agricultural industry and its presence in these idyllic islands. "The Virgin Islands, sugar cane country" is more than just a still image; it represents an important piece of regional history preserved through Delano's lens. Its inclusion in the Congressional Library further solidifies its significance as a valuable cultural artifact. This print invites viewers to immerse themselves in an era gone by—a simpler time when nature thrived harmoniously with human endeavors on these enchanting islands.
