작품 상세

Jack Delano, 'World's Fair' Turnbridge Vermont. 11 x 14 inch vintage gelatin silver print on heavy paper, 1941. Delano's F.S.A. credit stamp and the negative number in pencil on the verso. The Library of Congress has about 600 negatives of this event that must have stimulated Delano's interest. This is the final one. The LOC title is "One of the ballad singers at the exhibit of early American education at the World's Fair.'" The gentleman at left in 19th century dress represents the past, as does the unidentified subject of the early photograph hanging at the right. The young man framed in a wooden rectangle represents the patriotic ideal of rural American youth.
