A wide panoramic view of the Battle Axe Shoe Co. plant in Richmond, Virginia, this print records a factory as a whole rather than a single building. Haines Photo Co., a firm in Conneaut, Ohio, made the picture, and it was deposited for copyright on April 21, 1909, which is how it came to the Library of Congress. Around 1909 Richmond was a busy manufacturing city, with tobacco and iron work alongside shoemaking, so the image is a useful record of the factories that shaped the city's working life.
