Scope and Content

This photograph shows a large workshop where men are working on each armchair separately. They are at different stages in production and work on wooden benches. Most of the chairs are upholstered in fabric except one in the centre of the photograph which appears to be made of leather or vinyl. Oddments of stuffing and fabric litter the floor. Black and white.
