EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait, titled "Portrait of James Petrillo in his office, New York, N.Y. ca. Feb. 1947," was masterfully captured by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb. The image offers a glimpse into the office of James Caesar Petrillo, a pivotal figure in American music history. Petrillo, a labor union leader, served as the President of the American Federation of Musicians from 1940 until 1952, during the golden age of jazz. The photograph, taken in the late 1940s, captures Petrillo in deep thought at his desk, surrounded by the trappings of his office. The room is filled with an air of importance, with two men in suits seated in the background, likely discussing union business. The atmosphere is both formal and intimate, reflecting the significant role Petrillo played in shaping the music industry during this time. The image is a testament to the cultural heritage of the United States in the 20th century, particularly during the jazz age. It offers a unique perspective on the intersection of music, labor, and politics in America, and serves as an important reminder of the legacy of figures like Petrillo who fought for the rights and fair treatment of musicians during this period. The photograph, which was taken in New York City, New York, is a stunning example of William Paul Gottlieb's photographic prowess. The image, which is preserved in the Library of Congress, is a valuable addition to our collective cultural heritage, and a reminder of the rich history of music and labor unionism in the United States.
