EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the year 1945, capturing a mesmerizing view of Maunabo, a charming town nestled amidst vast fields of sugar cane in Puerto Rico. The lens of renowned photographer Edwin Rosskam has perfectly immortalized this picturesque scene, showcasing the serene beauty that characterized the island during that era. As we gaze upon this timeless image, our eyes are immediately drawn to the majestic mountains standing tall in the background. Their grandeur serves as a breathtaking backdrop for Maunabo's humble yet vibrant streetscape. The absence of people allows us to appreciate the tranquility and simplicity that once defined daily life in this enchanting town. The sprawling fields of sugar cane dominate much of the foreground, their lush greenery contrasting against the starkness of photography. These fields symbolize both economic prosperity and cultural significance for Puerto Rico at that time. Edwin Rosskam's masterful composition captures every detail with remarkable clarity - from each blade of grass swaying gently in the breeze to every architectural nuance found within Maunabo's buildings. Through his lens, he invites us into a world frozen in time; one where nature harmoniously coexists with human habitation. This extraordinary print is not just an artistic masterpiece but also an invaluable historical document. It offers viewers a glimpse into Puerto Rico's past while simultaneously evoking feelings of nostalgia and appreciation for its natural wonders.
