International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union - Description:
- Rose Pesotta stands holding a floor microphone. She is a 68-year-old light skinned woman, with short, curly light-colored hair, wearing a short-sleeved, belted dress with contrasting stripes. She looks serious, and is brightly lit from above, so her eyes are shadowed, though she is obviously looking to the left of the camera. She is framed by prominent backdrop reading "UNION" with a painted torch to either side of her. Several light skinned men in suits, are also sitting behind her.
