EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured by renowned American photographer William Paul Gottlieb in January 1947, presents a powerful image of a man deeply engrossed in his work at the American Federation of Musicians. The setting is a modest office, filled with the essentials of the era: a worn wooden desk, a simple chair, and a few pieces of functional furniture. The subject, dressed in a formal suit and tie, exudes an air of authority and focus. The American Federation of Musicians, a labor union representing musicians in the United States, was a significant player in the Golden Age of Jazz, advocating for the rights and fair treatment of jazz musicians during a pivotal moment in American cultural history. This portrait, with its timeless composition and evocative atmosphere, offers a glimpse into the business side of the music industry during the 1940s, a period of transformation and innovation in both labor and art. The photograph, now part of the Library of Congress's extensive collection, stands as a testament to the enduring importance of unions and the individuals who fought for workers' rights in the United States.
