EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print captured by Jack Delano. The image takes us back to the 18th century when this colonial fortification stood tall on the picturesque coast of Saint Croix in the Caribbean. Delano's use of color brings life to this historical gem as we explore its arched architecture and vaulted interiors. The photograph showcases a courtyard within the fort, revealing its military significance and defensive purpose. Shutters adorn windows that overlook stunning views of the island. The stairs lead us deeper into history, inviting our imagination to wander through time. Delano's lens transports us to an era where France once held sway over these lands. This visual documentation was made possible through his association with Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), highlighting their efforts in preserving American heritage during World War II. As we admire this still image from inside the fort's walls, it serves as a reminder of our country's rich past and cultural diversity. It stands as a testament to America's commitment towards safeguarding its historical treasures for future generations. This remarkable piece is housed in the Library of Congress' Congressional Library collection under Heritage Art archives. Through Delano's lens, we are transported not only geographically but also emotionally - connecting with our roots and appreciating how far we have come as a nation.
