2022.2.30Description
Photograph of unidentified textile mill worker, American Thread Company, Willimantic, CT, 1943. Black and white gelatin print. Unknown photographer. The worker is using a grinder in the mill's machine shop. This photograph, along with several others taken at the same time, is part of a pair: one photo shows the worker exercising proper safety protocols, while the other shows the same worker doing the same task, but without using the proper safety protocols. This photograph shows the worker doing the wrong thing: not wearing his safety goggles.Photograph Details
