Signed in pencil by artist Frances Jetter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrances Jetter's \u003cem\u003eAmalgam\u003c\/em\u003e is an illustrated history of the life and times of her immigrant labor unionist grandfather who left Poland in 1911 when it was still part of the Russian Empire. Although the Russian Army no longer conscripted twelve-year-old Jewish children to serve thirty-one year-long tours of duty, her grandfather chose to evade their draft. After finding work as a pocket maker in a New York garment factory, he became a foot soldier in America's army of labor, and spent his life fighting for a living wage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAmalgam\u003c\/em\u003e focuses on his dual roles as a union member advocating for democracy in the workplace, and as a dictatorial patriarch of his Brooklyn family, waging a war against frivolity and toys. This powerful illustrated book contrasts old world ways with the desire to assimilate, and follows the family and the union through the Great Depression and World War II to the 1960s, and the union's decline. The artist's sequential narrative is cut from linoleum, with some imagery featuring complex chine collé additions from lithographic or digital prints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eOriginal illustrations by Frances Jetter had been featured in the Norman Rockwell Museum 2020 exhibition \u003cem\u003eFinding Home: Four Artists’ Journeys \u003c\/em\u003eand in the current exhibition \u003cspan style=\"color: #33cccc;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nrm.org\/2025\/05\/american-stories-revolution-to-rockwell\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #33cccc;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e American Stories: Revolution to Rockwell \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e on view June 6, 2026 through October 26, 2026.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JtsIAqtU_nY?si=P837ze-Uorl2fhJ2\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Norman Rockwell Museum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64155506704753,"sku":"PRDI00004","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/3710\/7773\/files\/200354_KFnSObkMxqkjkma1_3085fcf34cfb4c6cab0d285f9ebd6a34_270196.jpg?v=1783447678","url":"https:\/\/store.nrm.org\/products\/inhabitants-went-for-dessert-signed-giclee-print-by-frances-jetter-copy","provider":"Norman Rockwell Museum Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
