About

Labor agents (recruiters) were often sent down South from from the North during World War I when companies struggled to keep up with demand. To black Southerners, these agents were seemingly the herald of opportunity. Lawrence depicts a white labor agent writing on a sheet of yellow paper, presumably the names of new recruits. A line of men looking for work extends beyond him into the barren landscape. While Lawrence conveys a tone of hope and opportunity through these men, dark overtones of the work conditions and treatment that lie ahead of them are unavoidable.

Custom Framing

We use the highest quality wood in our modern shop to create custom frames, frame your print with precision-cut acid-free mat board, and mount it behind a UV-blocking semi-gloss plexiglass to protect your art from the sun, dust, pollution, heat, and humidity. Then we add finishing touches like a wall hanging mount, wall friendly bumpers and a protective backing.

"The quality is what really caught my eye. All the other stuff was great, but it all was about my love of Wright being so far ahead of his time and then you completed the circle with prints and weight of paper that blew me away."

"When I didn’t see the print I was looking for I called and left a message. I got a call right back and the person was very helpful. He was able to locate a print by the next day. I completed the order & had my framed prints in under a week. Great service."
