Commuters, Lowell, Mass., by Ukraine born artist Jack Delano is a Dye transfer print, part of a photographed series created between 1941 and 1982. The piece measures 17 x 10 inches and is displayed landscape style, with its longest dimension running Horizontal to the gallery floor. The image shows a winter street scene from the mid-20th century, likely the 1940s based on the clothing and cars. Eight people are standing in a neat line on a sidewalk, waiting quietly. They are outside a large, old stone building with dark brown and gray bricks. Snow covers parts of the roof and patches of the ground, and the air appears cold and crisp. In the center of the image is a tall streetlamp with a round, white light at the top. Attached to the pole is a small yellow sign that reads “NO PARKING BUS STOP.” The group of people is arranged in a straight line along the sidewalk, standing with space between them. Most of them are facing forward or to the side, not speaking or interacting with one another. Their body language suggests that they are waiting patiently, possibly for a bus or another form of public transportation. Everyone in the line is dressed warmly for winter. The men are wearing long, heavy overcoats and hats. One man near the left edge has his hands in his coat pockets and looks down slightly. Another man, farther to the right, wears a dark blue hat and holds a white package under one arm. A woman near the center of the line is dressed in a black dress with a belted coat and holds a white handbag. She stands next to another woman who wears a lighter brown coat and looks at something in her hands. A woman farther to the left wears a red hat and carries a small notebook or diary. The background features the tall stone building, which has arched doorways and large windows. Two posters are hanging on the wall. One shows a hand holding a bottle, possibly advertising soda, while the other poster seems to show a similar product. Near the left side of the image, there is a black car from the 1930s or 1940s parked next to a sign that says “TAXI,” indicating that the area may serve as a transit hub. The sidewalk is made of brick, and patches of snow and ice are scattered on the ground. The people in the image seem calm and still, as if caught in a quiet moment in a busy day. The scene has a peaceful, almost frozen-in-time quality, showing what daily life may have looked like in a city or town during the winter many decades ago. The colors are muted and soft, and the overall feeling is one of patience, routine, and quiet observation.
