Our female workers 1
1902
Fernand Gottlob captures a candid, gossipy moment in a 1902 Parisian millinery workshop, likely titled 'Nos ouvrières' (Our female workers). A standing woman models a dark boater hat while her seated colleagues inspect a large, wide-brimmed hat, seemingly discussing its fit. The handwritten French caption at the bottom reveals their chatter: 'Oh my dear, her hat suits her perfectly, let's hope ours will suit us just as well!' Background details like a *Le Petit Journal* poster and a slightly eerie mannequin head perfectly set the scene of Belle Époque working life.
