Original pencil artwork. Affixed on the back there is a "P.M. Competition, Museum of Modern Art" label with no artist name but the submission number is "12430". This suggests this artwork was an entry into the "Artist as Reporter" competition sponsored by the daily newspaper "PM" and the Museum of Modern Art held from 15 April to 7 May 1940. A call for entries went out to 10,000 artists in New York and beyond, and the best entries were to be selected by a jury of distinguished artists including John Sloan and William Gropper. 1,926 entries came in for the competition (1,463 from New York) and approximately 200 were chosen for the show.
