Concrete gang, graving dock construction, July 1943
Description
Four men working working to construct a graving dock in Sydney. They are performing tasks such as hammering, directing heavy loads, and shoveling. McClintock utilises social realism as a means to facilitate the viewer's appreciation of the co-operation between workers.
