Item Description
This timeless work is a study of people working in small trades in the post-World-War-II era by a noted American photographer. From Meridian Printing in East Greenwich, it’s titled “Irving Penn: Small Trades”.
Resulting from an overseas assignment by Vogue magazine, Penn depicts skilled trades people wearing their work clothes and carrying the tools of their trades. Shot in Paris, London, and New York, these arresting portraits capture the humble coal heaver and the crisply-dressed waiter with equal directness, underscoring fascinating cultural differences.
A sociological photographic tour-de-force, Irving Penn: Small Trades is from Meridian Printing in East Greenwich, RI.
