EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "CHICAGO: UNION STATION, 1943" takes us back in time to the bustling waiting room of Union Railroad Station in Chicago. Captured by photographer Jack Delano in January 1943, this image offers a glimpse into the daily lives of travelers during the mid-20th century. The composition is bathed in soft sunlight streaming through large windows, casting long shadows on the polished floor. The play of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and adds an ethereal quality to the scene. The sunbeam illuminates parts of the room while leaving other areas shrouded in darkness. The waiting room itself is filled with people from all walks of life - men and women dressed in their finest attire, soldiers bidding farewell to loved ones, families embarking on journeys. They are united by their shared purpose: travel. Each person carries their own story within this grand terminal. A prominent sign indicating "Union Station" hangs above them, serving as a reminder that this space serves as a hub for transportation and connection. It symbolizes not only physical movement but also represents hope for new beginnings and reunions. Delano's photograph captures both the architectural beauty of Union Station and its function as a gateway to countless destinations. It stands as a testament to an era marked by progress and change - an era defined by America's New Deal initiatives aimed at revitalizing infrastructure across the nation. This print serves as more than just decoration; it transports us
