May 1927
A 1927 sepia newsletter from the Biddeford Mills Museum in Biddeford, Maine, about the Pepperell Sheets textile manufacturing business and its workforce, written for employees and readers of the company's own publication. The photographs are informal sepia portraits of individual workers and their families, shot outdoors against houses, fences and snow, with some set in oval frames, giving a designer a plain, documentary record of early twentieth-century mill-town dress and posing.
