Framed pen and ink drawing by Wilson F. Erskine (Alaska, 1911-1973). The drawing depicts two men in a fish cannery operating an Iron Chink. Artist signed lower right and dated 1959. Sight measurement 8-5/8" x 10.75". Framed and matted under plexiglass, 15.5" x 16.75".
NOTE: The iron chink, was an automated device used in processing fish, particularly salmon. The term derives from the fact that in the early history of the US fishing industry, individuals of Chinese extraction were often employed in fish canneries. The "iron chink" displaced many Chinese workers.
