EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Jack Delano captures the arduous process of harvesting sugar cane in a burned field near Guanica, Puerto Rico in 1942. The image showcases the meticulous technique employed to make cutting the unharmed stalks easier. Burning the sugar cane eliminates the dense leaves, allowing laborers to focus on extracting the valuable crop. The photograph depicts a scene rich with rural charm and agricultural labor. In this snapshot of Americana from the 1940s, we witness an American farmer tending to his fields alongside his trusty oxen. The burnt landscape serves as a testament to their hard work and dedication. Delano's mastery is evident in his use of color and composition, bringing life to an otherwise desolate terrain. The vibrant hues highlight both nature's resilience and man's determination amidst challenging circumstances. As we gaze upon this historical artifact preserved by the Library of Congress, we are transported back in time to an era when farming was not just a profession but also a way of life for many Americans. This image encapsulates not only a specific moment in history but also represents broader themes such as regionalism, poverty, and America's agrarian heritage. Jack Delano's photographic documentation during this period under government programs like Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI) provides us with invaluable insights into our nation's past. It reminds us of our collective journey towards progress while honoring those who worked tirelessly on these vast plantations that shaped Puerto Rico’s agricultural landscape.
