Description
Photograph of women working in a walnut harvesting factory, 1927. Ten women can be seen working at four conveyor belts, harvesting walnuts. The walnuts sit on the conveyor belts, and the women seem to be inspecting them for quality control. The women all wear light colored hair covers and light colored smocks. Seven lamps can be seen above the women's heads, attached to metal pipes, illuminating their work.
