An old woman sorting tobacco leaves before her house, 1937

Before a weathered timber-framed house and barn, strings of tobacco leaves hang in long curtains from the eaves and the barn door; an old woman in a headscarf and knitted jacket sits on a wooden bench heaped with leaves and works through them in her lap, sorting and threading them, a bucket and tools at the barn door. The leaves were threaded on strings and hung in the airy barns to dry for weeks before they went to the buyers.
