EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by John Collier in 1943, showcases the exquisite altar of Nuestra Senora del Carmel on the south wall of a church in Trampas, New Mexico. The image transports us to a time when America was engulfed in the turmoil of World War II. Collier's artistic eye beautifully captures the essence of this religious artifact within its historical context. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the altar stand out against the backdrop of an era marked by conflict and uncertainty. As we gaze at this still image, we are reminded of the resilience and faith that sustained communities during challenging times. The significance of Catholicism is palpable as we observe Jesus Christ depicted alongside Mary, Our Lady of Mount Carmel. This representation symbolizes not only devotion but also serves as a testament to centuries-old traditions brought over from colonial times. Through his lens, Collier immortalizes both art and history. His work for the Farm Security Administration and Office of War Information documents not only physical structures but also cultural heritage deeply rooted in American soil. As viewers engage with this photograph held within the Library of Congress' vast collection, they are transported to another time and place—a moment frozen in history where religion provided solace amidst chaos. It serves as a reminder that even during dark periods such as war, art continues to inspire hope and preserve our shared human experiences.
