Item 43: As we spun long years ago
Scope and Contents
Black and white image depicts a woman seated outside a building hackling flax, which is combing the material by means of steel pins, the fineness and setting of the pins varying with the stage of the operation. She is dragging the flax through the pins set up on a low table in front of her. Several other bunches of flax are to the left, and a spinning wheel is in the background. All of this is taking place outside a barn perhaps, as there is a wood clapboard and stone building behind her. No location given. Meadville, Pa.: Keystone View Company, ca. 1892-1900. 17.75 x 9 cm.
Format: Stereoptic print.
