Inscription on left hand side of two of the prints, running from top to bottom reads: “Flax Industry. Cutting the Flax. 25.10. 15.”

A flax cutter dressed in shirtsleeves, trousers and with a brimmed hat pushed to the back of his head, at work in a stand of flax.

There are three photographs at this number, two with the inscription “Flax Industry. Cutting the Flax. 25.10.15” running down the left hand side of the photograph. The third print does not have this inscription.
