This black and white photograph shows two women making a mattress. The mattress is positioned on top of a large table outside of a building. To the left of the table is another table with a mound of cotton batting on it. A woman wearing glasses with her hair swept up is sewing the left front corner of the mattress. A spool of white thread is sitting on top of the mattress close at hand. The second woman, wearing sun glasses, is sewing the right side of the mattress. At her feet is a large spool of cotton thread. In the background of the image is a tilled field.
