The image showcases the major stages involved in flax production, highlighting the intricate work carried out by skilled workers. The scene depicts an interior view of Marshall's one-storied flax mill in Leeds, where various pieces of equipment are diligently operated. From the tow carding engine and spreading frame to the spinning wheel, each step is crucial in transforming raw flax into usable materials. This engraving serves as a testament to the significance of industrialization during this period, showcasing how machinery played a pivotal role in revolutionizing traditional methods.
