City. A color reproduction was made of this picture in England sometime in the middle ‘30s for The International Studio, a magazine then published in London. This is another of the song and people who sing it - or, in this case, dance it. Mr. Cohen has died and the picture resold. I don’t know who owns it now.”   Literature: Creekmore Fath, The Lithographs of Thomas Hart Benton, 2001 (third edition), University of Texas Press/ Alan Wofsy Fine Arts (San Francisco), 19.
