At the Vermont State Fair, Rutland, VT,, by Ukraine born artist Jack Delano is a Dye transfer print, part of a photographed series created between 1941 and 1985. The piece measures 12 1/4 x 18 1/4 inches and is displayed landscape style, with its longest dimension running Horizontal to the gallery floor. The image shows a colorful and busy outdoor fair, likely taking place during the 1940s or 1950s based on the clothing styles. The scene is full of bright sunlight and lively activity. The ground is dry and covered in light brown dirt, with no grass in sight. In the distance, there are booths, tents, and carnival rides decorated in bright colors like red, blue, and yellow. A red sign that says “TICKETS” is hanging above one of the booths, and several people are walking around or standing in line. In the front of the image, there is a group of children gathered together. Most of the girls wear matching red dresses with small blue and white patterns, short sleeves, and white collars. Their dresses all reach just below the knee. The girls have light brown or blonde hair, and many of them wear light blue ribbons tied into bows. One girl in the front has her hands clasped in front of her and looks off to the side with a focused expression. Another girl nearby has her hands on her hips and looks in the opposite direction. Among the girls stands a young boy wearing a light blue and white striped shirt with a collar, along with tan shorts. He has short blonde hair and stands slightly apart from the group, looking toward the left side of the image. His posture is relaxed, with one hand hanging at his side and the other lightly resting against his leg. To the right, a woman, possibly a caretaker, is holding a small child. The child has short curly blonde hair and is wearing a blue dress with puffed sleeves and a darker blue overall or jumper. The child is turned away from the camera and seems to be looking at something in the distance. The woman’s face is not visible. In the background, other adults are dressed in formal or old-fashioned clothing. One man wears a black suit and a light-colored straw hat. He stands with his hands behind his back, watching the fair calmly. The fairground behind him is filled with booths, tall banners, and rides, all decorated with bold colors and patterns. A few other fairgoers walk between the attractions, giving the scene a feeling of motion and excitement. The bright sunlight creates shadows on the ground and makes the colors of the dresses and fair decorations appear even more vibrant. The image captures a quiet, thoughtful moment in the middle of a busy and cheerful event. It shows a group of children, possibly siblings or schoolmates, as they take in all the sights and sounds around them.
