International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union - Description:
- Looking down a long table of approx. 15 women working at sewing machines, each with 2 spools of light-colored thread attached. In the middle of the table are piles of light-colored fabrics, while next to the machines in the foreground are piles of completed brassieres. The women in the foreground have dark hair, short sleeves, and varying complexions; further down the line only the tops of heads can be seen, since everyone is looking down at their machine.
