    Dorothy Lucke (1909-1986) was widowed in 1948. She went to work at a toy factory, and then for 25 years at the Clinton Garment Company. She remarried, Isaac Leslie. She had at least one child, a daughter Diane Johnson. Details from: rlhs.org/rlhsnews/htms/nl23-4.htm

    So this is a flipped image, negative in mirror? Look at top right with Film Type stock print.
  • Donna (LOC PP) said:
    Thanks for your question about the image. The film info and notch code were reviewed and confirmed that the image is oriented correctly. During the process of checking, the TIFF image revealed another detail -- the brand name of the coveralls can be seen on the metal buckle. The embossed brand name is very small in the default display, but identifiable with magnification.

    I love the activity captured here. This is fantastic.
  • velokitty said:
    This is great... I love the other photos of women workers, but this feels so much more truthful
  • roderickbodine said:
    I agree. No lipstick, fancy hairstyles or nice clothes. This photo doesn't have the "staged" feel like most of the other working women photos in this set.
  • Dan Perry said:
    Wow, this one is really something. Easily a favorite.
