1920173461920. 1920s vintage sepia photograph of around 50 women at work in a textile factory. The photographer's board is 10" x 8" inches and image is 8.25" x 5" inches. The women are seated in long rows and armed with sewing machines and seem to be turning bundles of cloth into garments. Spools of thread hang down from a center rail in the middle of the table to be fed into the sewing machines. Some of the cloth appears to be polka-dotted similar to the dresses that several women pictured appear to be wearing. The factory is consisted almost entirely of women - there is one man in a waistcoat walking around accompanied by an older woman. The working women seem to be of varying ages from their early 20s into their 50s. Textile manufacturing was unique at the time for its overwhelmingly female labor force. Sepia toned very good condition with great detail. unknown

1950233261950. Garment factory photographs documenting women's industrial sewing labor machine based apparel production and managerial oversight in the postwar United States circa 1950s with direct evidence of how mass clothing manufacture depended on large sewing rooms specialized equipment and gendered factory work. Archive documents the production floor as a working system rather than a single portrait scene placing rows of women at Pfaff machines beside piles of cut or partly finished garments while a separate executive portrait and staged equipment views link shop floor labor to administration and industrial sales culture. The group matters because postwar clothing production relied heavily on women's wage labor in factories where speed repetition and machine specialization turned fabric into standardized output for a growing consumer economy.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 5 Large silver gelatin photographs each 8" x 10" circa 1950s. Two photographs show the main sewing room from wider angles with long rows of women seated at machine stations beneath suspended electric lines and task lighting while large heaps of striped fabric or finished garments spill across tables and benches in the foreground. The workers are positioned close together in a dense production space organized around straight runs of tables and sewing heads with little separation between labor stations and material flow. One photograph isolates a woman operating a large Pfaff industrial unit in a cleaner demonstration setting while another gives a close technical view of a Pfaff machine head and work plate. A fifth photograph shows an older male executive or manager seated in an office.<br /> Postwar apparel production expanded through factories that combined assembly line logic with skilled but repetitive needlework and women formed a large share of that labor force in garment plants across the United States. The Pfaff machines represent the technological side of production while the sewing room views show the human structure that made the machines profitable with women handling fabric continuously at closely arranged stations under managerial control. Light handling wear and minor curling to edges. Overall very good condition. The archive preserves the relationship between labor machinery and output at a moment when industrial clothing manufacture still depended on concentrated factory work before later shifts toward overseas production transformed the industry. unknown
