Title:
[Flora Curtright at the Republican Printing Co., Cedar Rapids, Iowa]
Description:
The Industrial Revolution moved many kinds of work out of the home and into factories. Bookbinding was no exception. By the mid-nineteenth century many aspects of binding had been mechanized. For women, in many cases, work in a bindery paid relatively well. The inscription on the back of this photograph reads: “Flora [Lenter] Curtright when she worked in the binding factory.”
