“Eleven on a hot July morning, and the little town was crowed, like some old-time immigrant ship. Women in plaid shawls and fitted caps, men in somber black as befitted a monthly occasion. Squawking of ducks and hens, trudging of donkeys, creaking of carts…colts frisking. Girls with baskets of eggs and butter; great carts of hay and straw….Herring-men bawling like auctioneers. Squealing of young pigs. An old clothes dealer hoarse with effort. A ballad singer split the air…Strands of fruit and cakes…An old man with Irish bag-pipes, bellows strapped to arm, playing…small boys regarded him curiously…later, young framers and girls would be dancing sets to his piping.” Donn Byrne ( the main character of the book of the same name and of this illustration for the book).

- Eli Jacobi, Raritan Bridge (New Jersey)Located in New York, NYMostly known linocuts that combine social subjects with a modernist figure-ground style, Jacobi proves that 'artists have hands.' By that my old boss Sylvan Cole meant that even if they have a preferred medium, like Jacobi with linocut, they could do just about anything. And here the artist has made a New Jersey subject shine. The Raritan Bridge of course goes over the Raritan River that flows from the inland mountains (well, hills) of New Jersey to the Raritan Bay and then into the Atlantic Ocean. It was stolen from the Lenape by the Dutch and fought over by the English. It's role in American Industrial History is the stuff of legends. With the addition of a canal it transported anthracite coal from Pennsylvania helping to make the this part of New Jersey into a financial powerhouse. Sadly industry also polluted the entire region but now there is on-going restoration. Of course the bridge is also known to riders of the New Jersey Coast Line and drivers on the Garden State Parkway -- both take travelers 'down the shore,' This twist of heavy industry...Category

A young mother, little boy, and even smaller girl have their luncheon under a make shift 'fly' -- a stripped cloth canopy fixed up with poles.
