As a lifelong supporter of the organized labor movement, William Gropper sensitively depicted many New Yorkers at work in tough circumstances, including in the sweat shops of the Garment District (now called the Fashion Center). After turning to etching in his late sixties, Gropper created this image of laborers pushing empty racks and pulling loaded carts on 38th St. in the busy and chaotic District. His signature caricature style is a continuation of his early political cartooning in Die Freiheit, a Yiddish newspaper printed by the Jewish Federation of the Worker’s Party.
