Cabinet Card Portrait of a Group of Female Mill Workers in Nashua, N.H. c. 1880-1890

Nashua: J. Riley, 1890. Albumen photograph, 5 ½ x 4 inches on larger mount. A portrait of seven women holding weaving shuttles, most likely mill workers in Nashua. Two large mills, the Nashua Manufacturing Company and the Jackson Manufacturing Company, were active during this period, though we cannot confirm if this picture was taken at either. Generally well preserved with some wear and what looks like a fingerprint on the head of the subject in the upper right of the image, and some stray soiling and marks. Remains in good condition overall.
