EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken by Jack Delano in 1943, offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the general view of Amarillo, Texas during the Second World War. As part of his Santa Fe R. R. trip, Delano beautifully captures the essence of this bustling cityscape with its charming buildings and vibrant streets. The image showcases the architectural heritage of Amarillo, highlighting both residential houses and notable landmarks like churches that stand as symbols of faith and Christianity within the community. The color transparency adds depth to the photograph, allowing us to appreciate the vividness of this moment frozen in time. Delano's work was commissioned by various government agencies such as Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), making it an invaluable historical record. This particular photograph is now housed in the Library of Congress' Congressional Library collection. Transportation plays a significant role in this image too, with railways crisscrossing through Amarillo - specifically Atchison Topeka Santa Fe Railway (ATSF). These rail lines were vital for travel and trade during wartime America. As we gaze upon this still image from over seven decades ago, we are transported back to a different era - a time when patriotism ran high and communities united against common adversaries. It serves as a reminder not only of our nation's history but also honors Jack Delano's exceptional talent for capturing moments that transcend generations.
