The subject is a woman working at a furnace in an English iron works, a setting that was overwhelmingly male before the First World War. Photographs of women in heavy industry were common during the war, when women took on factory and foundry jobs to fill places left by men sent to the front. The Bain News Service, a New York picture agency, distributed images like this one to newspapers and magazines. The record gives no date, and the title comes from caption cards supplied by the agency, so the exact year and works remain unconfirmed.
