  I guess "husky" has changed in definition since the 1930s.

  This image is amazing in it's softness of light, femininity and depth juxtaposed against the hard work and grittiness of the subject.

  Classic '40's image.

• Christian Lüts said:

  No doubt a brilliant photo but I’m inclined to think that it was staged. The headstock of the capstan lathe is fitted with a face plate, normally used for securing odd shapes or castings where a collet or chuck would not be appropriate. There is no jig or clamps attached to it and the capstan itself does not seem to have any tool blocks fitted to it. I’d hazard a guess that the picture was taken while the machine was being set up.

  The light is phenomenal.

• erin*carly said:

  such amazing light. i hope this is an inspiration to today's photographers . . . there's a quality of transparency film that just can't be rivaled with digital.

• Matthew Whatley said:

  incredible detail. I really love the lighting on the face. This is really impressive.

• Jay F said:

  Artistic work from the pre-digital, pre-photoshop era. Wonderful.
