Zavod Rybnykh Konservov v Astrakhani
The Fish Processing Factory at Astrakhan
Year: 1908
On a dock, men and women are bustling about. The fish is unloaded and brought to the covered market. The fish merchants gut the fish with dexterity, before salting it. While the men weigh the fish, the women rinse out their clothes and tools in the port’s water.
This film, oscillating between the documentary and the reporting style, follows workers all through the day. It comes from the Pathé collection on Picturesque Russia.
