EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken by the talented Gordon Parks in 1943, transports us to the bustling Fulton Fish Market in New York City. The image showcases a group of stevedores hard at work on the docks, their attire reflecting the fashion of the era with bib overalls and caps. These dock workers, known as longshoremen, were an integral part of America's maritime industry during this time. Parks' composition beautifully captures both the physical labor and camaraderie among these men. Their weathered faces tell stories of dedication and resilience as they handle crates filled with fresh fish from all corners of the sea. The market itself is a hive of activity, with other workers visible in the background going about their tasks. The photograph not only documents a specific moment in history but also serves as a testament to American heritage and industrial prowess. It was created under the auspices of Farm Security Administration (FSA) which aimed to document various aspects of American life during that period. Gordon Parks' skillful use of black and white film negative adds depth and texture to this powerful image. Preserved by Library Congress for future generations to appreciate, this piece stands as a reminder of our country's rich cultural tapestry woven through its people's occupations - here exemplified by these diligent dockers at Fulton Fish Market.
