EDITORS COMMENTS
Ducks, Chinatown" is a captivating black and white gelatin silver print photograph taken by renowned American photographer Lewis Wickes Hine in 1936. The image transports us back in time to the bustling Chinatown neighborhood of Los Angeles during the 1930s in the United States. The photograph showcases a scene of traditional Chinese culture, with rows of ducks hanging from the ceiling of a market stall, curing in the sun. The ducks, displayed in various stages of preparation, create a striking visual contrast against the rough, textured brick wall behind them. The dimly lit environment adds to the authenticity of the image, as if we have been transported directly into the market. Lewis Wickes Hine, a pioneer in social documentary photography, captured this moment with an unassuming yet poignant perspective. His masterful use of light and shadow, as well as his ability to convey a sense of heritage and tradition, make this photograph a true work of art. The photograph is a testament to the rich cultural diversity that existed in the United States during the 1930s, and serves as an important reminder of the value of preserving our heritage. Today, this precious piece of history can be found at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the past. This photograph, titled "Ducks, Chinatown," is a powerful reminder of the beauty and complexity of our world, and the importance of documenting and preserving the stories and traditions of our past.
