Work From Home: 1941
January 1941. "Scene in west Aliquippa, Pennsylvania. Stacks of the Jones and Laughlin Steel Corporation in background." Medium format negative by Jack Delano for the Farm Security Administration. View full size.
The Coming War Years
I love these snapshots in time. A year after this photo was taken, the steel mills of Pennsylvania would soon be working overtime for the war effort.
