Description
Photograph of a woman worker sealing honey jars with beeswax, ca.1930. An elderly lady sits to the left of center wearing a lightly colored dress, a bonnet, a pearl necklace and round glasses with dark shows. The woman places her hands over a pot to the right of center while holding a round jar in her hands.
