Item 19: Quilling yarn with a wheel
File — Box: 10, Folder: 1
Scope and Contents
Black-and-white image depicts two women filling yarn on wheels. Quilling is the last process in the long-chain system for filling yarns, in which the threads forming the chain are wound on filling bobbins, or quills, ready for the shuttle. A man bends over as if to kiss the woman on the left. Both women are set up outside a rather ramshackle building, but the location is unknown. ca. 1900-1910. 17.5 x 8.5 cm.
Format: Stereoptic print.
