EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a nostalgic winter scene from the 1940s in Brockton, Massachusetts. The image showcases a group of people joyfully ice skating on a frozen lake, their figures gracefully gliding across the smooth surface. Photographer Jack Delano skillfully captured this moment, freezing it in time for us to appreciate decades later. The atmosphere is filled with excitement and leisure as both children and adults participate in this popular winter activity. Bundled up against the cold, they enjoy the freedom that comes with sliding effortlessly over the ice. The presence of a hockey club suggests that some are engaged in friendly competition while others simply revel in the pure pleasure of skating. Set against a backdrop of snowy trees and an expansive sky, this photograph evokes feelings of nostalgia and simplicity. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when communities gathered together to embrace seasonal traditions like ice skating. As part of Delano's work during the New Deal era, this image also reflects historical significance beyond its aesthetic appeal. It offers insight into how Americans found solace and enjoyment amidst challenging times. Whether you're an admirer of vintage photography or someone who appreciates capturing moments frozen in time, this print is sure to evoke fond memories or spark curiosity about bygone eras.
