EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "NEW MEXICO: BLACKSMITH" takes us back to the mid-20th century in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The image captures a moment of intense craftsmanship as three skilled men work diligently in the blacksmith shop at the Santa Fe Railroad shops. The focal point of the photograph is a massive steam drop hammer, which looms over the scene like a powerful force of industry. With synchronized precision, each man hammers away at a draw bar on this formidable machine, their hats adding an air of rugged authenticity to their trade. The composition exudes strength and skill, showcasing the artistry involved in metalworking during this era. The chain hanging from above hints at other projects awaiting attention while emphasizing the industrial nature of their work environment. Photographed by Jack Delano in 1943 as part of his documentation for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), this image represents not only a snapshot of American history but also serves as a testament to hardworking individuals who contributed to building our nation's infrastructure. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time and reminded of the dedication and expertise required within every profession. It is through images like these that we can appreciate both the beauty and significance found within everyday moments captured on film.
