Raymond Steth joined Dox Thrash at the Federal Art Project in the Philadelphia Fine Print Workshop 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."
