This print from the 1890s showcases a significant moment in American industrial history. Titled "Textile workers collecting their pay" it provides a glimpse into the bustling weaving department of a textile mill during payday. The hand-colored woodcut, derived from an original 19th-century illustration, beautifully captures the essence of this era. In this vintage scene, both male and female workers can be seen eagerly lining up at their desks to receive their hard-earned wages. The atmosphere exudes heritage and tradition as these dedicated individuals await payment for their labor-intensive work in the cloth factory.
