Title
Weighing hops
Description
Sepia-toned image of three light-complexioned people weighing a bag of hops. The bag is suspended on a mechanical spring weight hanging from a tripod. One man with a hat and mustache reads the weight, while another man in overalls and a hat writes the weight down. A third person watching from behind in a hat and large coat appears to be a woman. Hops plants and posts with string and wires fill the background of the image.
