Established in 1926, J.Pocker & Son Picture Framing is a landmark business on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Started by Jacob and Bessie Pocker. They both arrived as immigrant children at the turn of the 20th Century. Their grandson Richard, a third generation picture framer, has written a tribute to his family, staff and clients, some of them are now third generation as well.J.Pocker & Son is a snapshot of a typical family business that was started on shoestring budget, gumption and sacrifice by a generation of immigrants who arrived in America knowing there was no turning back and no room for failure. Personalities that made New York vibrant during its heyday all walked through the door of the store. They are captured in stories and photos in J.Pocker & Son.
