In this print from 1956, we are transported back to the bustling lumber mills of Canada. The image showcases a dedicated worker in a pulp mill, diligently maneuvering logs for steaming and bark removal. This snapshot captures the essence of blue-collar labor during the 1950s, highlighting the industrious spirit that built North America. The monochromatic tones add a touch of nostalgia to this historic scene, emphasizing the grit and determination etched on the face of this Caucasian worker. Surrounded by towering stacks of logs and an imposing industrial building, he stands tall amidst his challenging occupation.

The daytime sunlight casts long shadows across the workers' figures, further accentuating their toughness and resilience.
