EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait, titled "Portrait of James Petrillo in his office, New York, N.Y. ca. Feb. 1947," was skillfully captured by the renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb. The image transports us back to the 1940s, a pivotal decade in American history and the golden age of jazz. The photograph finds James Caesar Petrillo, a prominent figure in the music industry and labor union movement, seated at his office desk in New York City. Petrillo, the President of the American Federation of Musicians, is deep in thought as he peruses documents spread out before him. A female assistant, likely handling administrative duties, looks on attentively from the background. The room is filled with the ambiance of the era, with its vintage furniture, black and white decor, and the faint hint of a radio playing in the distance. The portrait offers a glimpse into the world of trade unionism during this critical period, as Petrillo fought for the rights and fair compensation of jazz musicians. This image, a poignant reminder of the past, is now part of the prestigious collections at the Library of Congress, a testament to its historical significance and cultural heritage.
