EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Georgia: Saw Mill, 1941" takes us back in time to the heart of industrial Georgia. The image showcases the Greensboro Lumber Company, located in the charming town of Greensboro. Photographer Jack Delano skillfully captures this moment in June 1941, during a period when America was undergoing significant changes through President Roosevelt's New Deal policies. The photograph depicts a scene that is both awe-inspiring and thought-provoking. A dirt road leads us towards the imposing sawmill building, surrounded by lush greenery typical of rural Georgia. Smoke billows from the towering smokestacks as evidence of industry at work, creating an atmospheric haze against a backdrop of fluffy clouds. As we explore further into the details within this frame, we notice power lines and telephone poles crisscrossing above; symbols of connectivity amidst nature's grandeur. Sawdust litters the ground nearby, remnants of timber being transformed into lumber for various purposes. Delano's lens also captures hints of pollution caused by this bustling factory - a reminder that progress often comes with its own set of challenges. Nevertheless, it is impossible not to appreciate how this sawmill represents livelihoods and economic growth for local communities during that era. In summary, this evocative photograph serves as a window into Georgia's past - an homage to its industrious spirit while reminding us about our responsibility towards environmental stewardship.
