EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken by Dick De Marsico in 1962, we are transported to the bustling streets of Brooklyn, New York. The image captures Eugene Smallwood, an employee at Curatolo Banana Corporation, as he diligently weighs bananas at the Brooklyn Terminal market. Smallwood stands behind a large scale, his cap adding a touch of authenticity to his role as a banana vendor. His focused expression reflects the importance of his work in ensuring that only the finest quality bananas make it into the hands of eager customers. The abundance of bananas surrounding Smallwood is truly remarkable. This snapshot provides us with a glimpse into the thriving fruit industry that flourished in mid-20th century New York. Bananas from tropical regions were brought to North America through companies like Curatolo Banana Corporation, fueling commerce and satisfying consumers' cravings for this delicious and nutritious fruit. De Marsico's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the hard work put forth by Smallwood and the vibrant atmosphere of the market. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the scene while emphasizing every detail - from each individual banana on display to Smallwood's determined stance. This print serves as a timeless reminder of an era when local vendors played an integral role in bringing fresh produce to our tables. It celebrates not only Eugene Smallwood's dedication but also pays homage to all those who have contributed their efforts towards creating prosperous communities centered around food and trade.
