EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by the talented Jack Delano in 1943, takes us back to a significant era in American history. Titled "Illinois Central R. R. Chicago, Illinois" it showcases the bustling South Water Street freight terminal and introduces us to Vernon Brower, a railway worker riding the footboard of a diesel switch engine. In this image brought to life by Delano's expertise, we witness Brower donning his work attire - a denim jacket that speaks volumes about the fashion trends of that time. The photograph beautifully captures not only his clothing but also the intricate details of his surroundings: from the vintage lamp illuminating their path to the vibrant colors adorning nearby trains. Delano's lens transports us into an enchanting night scene where Brower stands as a symbol of hardworking men who played vital roles in America's transportation industry during World War II. As part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) project commissioned by the Office of War Information (OWI), Delano aimed to document various aspects of American life during this transformative period. With its historical significance and aesthetic appeal, this print serves as a remarkable testament to both Delano's artistic prowess and America's rich heritage. Preserved within the Library of Congress' vast collection, it allows viewers today to step back in time and appreciate not only its visual beauty but also its cultural value as an enduring piece of Americana.
