Late Evening Bustle at the Fulton Fish Market, New York, 1943
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph by Gordon Parks captures a late evening scene at the iconic Fulton fish market in New York City. Taken in 1943, during the bustling forties era, this image showcases the vibrant energy of one of America's busiest seafood hubs. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see men diligently cleaning crates and boxes filled with fresh fish. The hardworking individuals are meticulously going about their jobs as they hose down the exterior of the building. Their dedication to maintaining cleanliness is evident even in this still image. Parks' keen eye for detail highlights not only the laborious nature of their work but also emphasizes their role within a larger context. This photograph was taken under the auspices of various government agencies such as Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), which aimed to document American life during World War II. The Fulton fish market served as an essential source of sustenance for countless Americans during these challenging times. Parks' composition beautifully captures both the physicality and spirit that defined this historic location. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Heritage Images, we are transported back to a different era - when hardworking men like those depicted here played crucial roles in ensuring food security for our country.
