A 4" x 4" color photo of Etta Hopkins (left) and Margaret Wilson (right) seated crocheting drapes during a break at VITA Foods in Chestertown, Maryland. The drapes are a striped pattern of green and white, and match the bedspread she had been working on for thirteen years prior to the photo. Etta Hopkins looks down, focused on her work while Marjorie Wilson looks up and smiles at the camera. Numerous jackets hang on the walls behind them.
