This is a photographic negative produced by photographer Ian Beesley. This was part of a project called 'Thackray Remembered' (Thackray 2011) which was commissioned by the Thackray Medical Museum to document the closure of a Thackray factory which manufactured hip and knee replacements. It was taken over by the American company DePuy who moved production to China.

This image shows a man wearing a black DePuy uniform sat at a work desk wearing glasses and a pair of ear defenders. He is holding a component of some kind in one hand while working at it with a tool in his other hand. A magnifying lamp provides light and gives him better view of his work. Tools like a measuring caliper, a brush and some gloves rest on the table, alongside other components in progress.
