2022.2.12Description
Photograph of unidentified textile mill workers, location unknown, c. 1890. Black and white albumen print pasted onto cardboard. Unknown photographer. In the late 1800s. No electric lights -- light comes from a skylight, indicating that the photo was taken on the top floor of a building. The woman on the lower right is holding a flying shuttle, indicating that she is a weaver (which means that the photo was not taken at the Willimantic Linen Company, which only spun thread).Photograph Details
