Three names share this 1936 poster, which pairs Vermont's labor struggles with New York audiences. Norman Thomas, the Socialist Party's presidential candidate that year, is the best-known of them, and the record also ties the piece to labor leaders and strikes in Vermont during the 1930s. Posters like this one were typically meant to rally sympathy and support across state lines, and the decade saw sustained labor unrest in Vermont's quarrying and manufacturing towns. The artist Rockwell Kent, a well-known painter and political activist, is among the names, which places the poster within the left-leaning cultural circles of New York.
