Meisje in schoenenfabriek / Girl in shoe factory
Nationaal Archief
This is a 15 year old girl in 1928 who is operating a buttonhole machine in the Dutch shoe factory Jan van Arendonk, The Netherlands,Tilburg. One of my favorite things to do is sew. I look up in awe to the ones older than me who lived lives as the young lady did in the picture above. I love to sew as a hobby and for some extra money but this was obviously her life and I could only imagine her craftsmanship. I thought this picture was absolutely beautiful. The role of women have really obviously changed.
Flickr was a little difficult for me to figure out. I wanted to find a photo that meant something to me and I could not even get off the home page. I finally figured out how to search photos that were not copyright protected, these are considered "Commons" photos.
