Women working in the fields near Namen is the subject here, though the caption's placement in Germany is unverified, since Namen is the Dutch name for Namur in Belgium. The Bain News Service, which supplied the caption, distributed photographs like this to newspapers and magazines in the early twentieth century. Images of women doing farm work across Europe circulated widely during and after the First World War, when many men were away at the front and women took on labor that was usually done by men. The negative is on nitrate film, an early and highly flammable base, so its survival is itself worth noting.
