Description
Photograph of factory workers operating on machinery, showing pallet of buckets in foreground, ca.1930. To the left, a single factory worker is seen operating a large piece of machinery. The worker wears stained pants connected to suspenders. A round, lightly colored cap sits on his head. The worker places a single foot on the round disk at the base of the machine. He also holds a large metal arm extending from the central cylinder of the machine's body. To the man's left, a wheeled cart of small paint buckets can be seen. A small pallet containing more paint buckets is visible to the man's immediate right. To the far right, a large piece of machinery can be seen extending to the ceiling. In the background at center, two additional workers can be seen standing near a rectangular piece of machinery. One man can be seen standing on a barrel adjacent to the machine. To the left and right, large pallets, carts, and boxes are visible.
