Raymond Steth joined DoxThrash at the Federal Art Project in the Philadelphia Fine PrintWorkshop
in the fall of 1939. According to Dr. Leslie King-Hammond in her essay
Black Printmakers and the
WPA
, “Steth, working primarily in aquatint and carbograph, produced a powerful series of studies
that reflect deeply and often critically on Black life and culture in America. ... Steth was a master of
content and commentary.”
