EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph by Jack Delano captures a moment in time, showcasing a Malaria poster displayed in a small hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico, back in 1941. The image is filled with historical significance and offers a glimpse into the efforts made to combat this deadly disease during that era. The composition of the photo draws attention to the vibrant colors of the poster against the backdrop of an unassuming interior. The worn-out chair placed beneath it adds to the sense of poverty and struggle faced by those living in this area at that time. Delano's work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI) aimed to document various aspects of American life during this pivotal period. This particular piece sheds light on public health initiatives undertaken by local authorities as they sought to educate residents about malaria prevention. The presence of this poster serves as a reminder not only of Puerto Rico's fight against malaria but also highlights how art can be used as a tool for raising awareness about important issues. It stands as an enduring testament to Delano's talent for capturing significant moments through his lens. Preserved within the Library of Congress' collection, this photograph continues to serve as both an artistic representation and historical record, allowing us to reflect upon past struggles while appreciating progress made towards eradicating diseases like malaria.
