EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, possibly titled "Filling a barrel with codfish at the Fulton fish market, New York, 1943" transports us back to a bustling era in American history. Taken by the talented photographer Gordon Parks, this image captures the essence of life in mid-20th century America. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a dock worker dressed in traditional attire diligently filling a wooden barrel with freshly caught codfish. The man's rugged appearance and cigarette dangling from his lips add an air of authenticity to the scene. Behind him lies an array of fishing boats bobbing gently on the water, their presence symbolizing both livelihood and sustenance. Parks' masterful use of photography highlights every intricate detail - from the texture of clothing worn by other workers nearby to baskets brimming with fish waiting for their turn to be packed. This image not only showcases everyday work at one of New York City's iconic markets but also serves as a testament to human resilience during challenging times. Preserved within this photograph is not just an occupation or location; it encapsulates an entire decade's worth of history. Through Parks' lens, we catch glimpses into America's past: its fashion choices, its reliance on aquatic life for food supply, and its hardworking citizens who labored tirelessly to make ends meet. As we admire this remarkable piece from Gordon Parks' collection housed at the Library of Congress, let us reflect upon our heritage and appreciate those who came before us - individuals like these longshoremen who played vital roles in shaping our country's identity.
