Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. The book once belonged to an Equal Oppurtunity Resource Centre. Its stamps are on the front end paper and half title page and again on the back end paper which also has a date due slip, which shows the book to have been borrowed once, and an accession number. There is also a shelf label on its spine. A clean and solid copy, and apart form the stamps, umarked. 251 pages. A collection of photographs of workers on the factory floor, with a commentary by Polizzotto. Two examples: Some photographs in this book were faked from the first. One of the most blatant, ?Pouring Metal, Metters? Foundry?, has been retouched, says the author, ?to give the impression that the pour is actually taking place. In fact the resulting smoke would have obscured the process almost entirely? and When retired workers look again at old photographs of the factory floor, their first comments have always to do with how unnaturally clean and tidy it looks! The unfamiliar sight prompts memories of the often frenzied preparations which used to precede a photographic session.' (a very interesting review about the book can be found at this site: Australian Society for the Study of Labour History). Seller Inventory # 018397
