Description

Five women and two men are working in a large room. Three of the women are standing at a long work table. Filled bags of coffee are visible on the table. Next to these bags, one woman is filling paper bags at a machine and placing them on the table beside two other women who are closing and sealing the bags. Behind these women, another woman is placing a tin of coffee on a display of additional coffee cans. One man appears to be placing the filled coffee bags on the table. On the other side of the room, another man is working with a machine that seems to be sealing wrapped boxes labeled “Pepper.” Metal duct work, wooden bins and a large, painted concrete pillar are visible next to the work table. Additional packages are stacked in the rear of the room. The number “63” has been written on the emulsion side of the negative and is visible in the upper right corner of the picture. The number “4” is written in the upper left corner.
