Joe Munroe Archive
Description: Photograph taken by Joe Munroe of a pig at a slaughterhouse on a small Indiana farm. Sources give the photograph two separate dates, 1955 and 1975. On small farms, the life and death cycle was just another part of everyday life. Joe Munroe's career began in 1939 at the Cranbrook Academy of Art. He served in the Air Force during World War II and then joined Cincinnati-based Farm Quarterly magazine. Though raised in Detroit, agriculture became an important subject of Joe's photographs. He moved to California in 1955 and free-lanced, taking magazine assignments and selling his own work. View on Ohio Memory.
