EDITORS COMMENTS
MAINE: MOVING, 1940. A snapshot of Fort Kent's industrious spirit captured by photographer Jack Delano in 1940. This photograph showcases the remarkable feat of moving a house in the heart of Maine. With its exterior standing tall against the backdrop of this picturesque town, the image encapsulates both the resilience and resourcefulness that define life in rural America. In this mid-century scene, a determined man orchestrates the intricate process with precision as he guides a truck to transport an entire house to its new location. The sheer magnitude of this endeavor is awe-inspiring, symbolizing not only physical strength but also unwavering determination to adapt and evolve. Delano's lens captures every detail - from the worn-out wooden structure being carefully lifted onto sturdy beams to ensure a smooth transition, to onlookers observing with curiosity and admiration for their neighbors' audacious undertaking. This timeless photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and community solidarity during challenging times. It invites us into an era where progress was measured by collective effort rather than individual gain. As we gaze upon this extraordinary moment frozen in time, we are reminded that history is made up of countless stories like these – ordinary people accomplishing extraordinary feats – reminding us all that no challenge is insurmountable when faced together.
