EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb in July 1947, offers a glimpse into the vibrant musical atmosphere of Metropolitan Vocational High School in New York City. The image features three young men, each deeply engrossed in their respective brass instruments - a saxophone and two trumpets. Their concentration is palpable as they play, their facial expressions a testament to the passion and dedication that music instills in them. Located in the bustling heart of New York City, Metropolitan Vocational High School was a pioneer in providing vocational education to students in the 1940s. This photograph, taken during a music class, showcases the school's commitment to nurturing talent and fostering creativity. The image is particularly noteworthy due to the racial diversity of the students, reflecting the melting pot nature of the city and the country as a whole during the era. The photograph, taken as a film negative, has been expertly preserved and is now part of the prestigious Library of Congress collection. It serves as an invaluable historical record of a bygone era, providing a window into the rich cultural heritage of America during the 1940s. William Paul Gottlieb, a master of his craft, has captured not just a moment in time, but the very essence of music and the joy it brings to these young men.
