About the Item

British-born Sid Gotcliffe has made a powerfully poignant image in the lithograph Tompkins Square Park. At the center sit three men dressed in black. Their clothes suggest they belong to the Jewish community of New York City's Lower East Side. Perhaps they are among the last of their friends who will come to kibitz in the park that winter day around 1940. Behind them are empty areas of a park that have historically been filled with people and activities. Opened in 1850 and named for Daniel D. Tompkins, fourth governor of New York State and Vice President under James Monroe, the park has been the site of brutal demonstrations and happy celebrations. The empty fields suggest it's winter. This is confirmed by the defoliated trees that show little sign of coming to life in the spring. At the far right is an elegant Bishop's Crook lamppost, dating to the turn of the century. It is signed, titled 'Using Thompkins,' and numbered in pencil, The edition size is 6, and it is certainly scarce.
