EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Jack Delano captures a Virgin Islands company housing project in the vicinity of Bethlehem, Saint Croix in 1941. The image showcases a slice of rural life in America during the mid-20th century. Delano's use of color brings vibrancy to the scene, highlighting the rustic charm of these houses nestled amidst the Caribbean countryside. The photograph is part of the Farm Security Administration collection and reflects their mission to document poverty and regionalism across America. It portrays a humble community where families reside in simple yet picturesque homes, surrounded by nature's beauty. Delano's composition draws attention to both individual dwellings and their collective impact on this island landscape. The presence of cars parked outside suggests that despite its rural setting, this housing development is connected to modern amenities. As we gaze upon this still image frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of how architecture can shape lives and communities. These houses symbolize hope for those who called them home – an opportunity for better living conditions provided by a forward-thinking Virgin Islands company. Through his lens, Delano captured not just buildings but also stories - tales of hard work, resilience, and dreams for brighter futures. This print from Heritage Images allows us to appreciate both the artistic skill behind capturing such moments and the historical significance they hold within our nation's narrative.
