Transcription
This is a sepia glossy landscape image of a man sorting dark wool. A caption on the back reads: 'Wool sorters 3 ply mills Little Germany'. The worker seems to be doing his work by hand, assisted only by the light let in by the windows. The top of a large wicker basket can be seen by his worktop and another one can be seen further in the background, possibly to contain the sorted wool. A bottle of what could be labeled as 'Domest[os]' can be seen on the windowsill. Large white bags, possible containing wool, can be seen the background too with netting in front of it. This print was taken by photographer Ian Beesley.
