EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of JFK Airport in 1971. The image showcases a bustling line for customs and security, transporting us back to a time when air travel was filled with anticipation and excitement. The signs hanging above the line draw our attention, serving as reminders of the strict protocols in place to ensure safety during this era. As we examine each sign closely, we can almost feel the tension and apprehension that travelers must have experienced while waiting their turn. Warren K. Leffler's expertly composed photograph allows us to peer into the past, providing a glimpse into an American airport during a pivotal moment in history. The late afternoon light streaming through large windows creates intriguing shadows on weary faces and stacks of luggage. Located in Queens, New York, John F. Kennedy International Airport has always been known for its vibrant energy and diverse crowds. This photo encapsulates that spirit perfectly - capturing both the unique atmosphere of JFK Airport as well as the Northeastern charm that defines it. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, taken by Granger Art on Demand from The Granger Collection archives, we are reminded of how much airports have evolved over the years while still remaining gateways to new adventures for millions around the world.
