A painted wall in a Camden, New Jersey, housing building is the subject here, recorded in a photoprint of a mural by Marian Greenwood. The scene pairs shipyard workers with people canning food, linking heavy industrial labor to the home production that supported families during the period. Murals like this were often commissioned under New Deal art programs of the 1930s, which placed artists in public buildings to bring art to working people and residents. The date and attribution come from an unverified caption card, so the 1930s is the most reliable guide.
