On behalf of the blog, wishing everyone an enjoyable end-of-summer long weekend.

Stay safe over the long weekend.

While you enjoy family and friends and gorgeous weather, maybe a little time at the state fair, take a moment to remember what the holiday is commemorating.  In that spirit, here are some iconic and vintage images from American art inspired by the subject of labor.
