Trucks crowd the loading area at the Fish Market in New York, a scene that shows how the city's wholesale food supply moved in the mid-20th century. The photograph's record credits the City of New York Department of Markets, the agency that ran the city's public wholesale markets, including the Fulton Fish Market on the East River in lower Manhattan. Produce and seafood arrived by truck and were unloaded, weighed and sold to restaurants and retailers before dawn. Pictures like this one document the working side of those early-morning markets, when the sheer volume of goods and the rhythm of hand trucks and crates defined daily life along the waterfront.
