This drawing was adapted from a 1920's era photograph in an album compiled by my mother which contained her memories of growing up on the West Side of Chicago. 'Uncle Frank' was my mother's uncle by marriage and by extension, my great-uncle. As an Eastern European Jewish immigrant, his job as a sweatshop presser was one of the few employment options for a man who spoke little English and who probably originated in a village farming community in the 'Old Country'.
