EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured by the talented Gordon Parks in 1943, transports us to the bustling Fulton fish market in New York City. The image showcases a hardworking dock worker dressed in traditional attire as he skillfully fills a barrel with freshly caught codfish. As we delve into this snapshot of American history, we are reminded of the vital role that this iconic market played in providing sustenance for countless individuals during World War II. Parks' masterful use of photography adds depth and texture to the scene, emphasizing not only the physical labor involved but also highlighting the determination etched on the face of this dedicated man. Through his lens, Parks captures both a moment frozen in time and an enduring symbol of resilience amidst challenging circumstances. The significance of this photograph extends beyond its aesthetic appeal; it serves as a visual testament to America's rich maritime heritage and its reliance on aquatic life for sustenance. This image is part of Parks' remarkable body of work commissioned by various government agencies such as Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), documenting everyday life across different regions during one of America's most transformative eras. As we gaze upon this powerful print from Heritage Images, let us reflect on our nation's collective history while honoring those who labored tirelessly to provide food for their fellow countrymen.
