Woman with Irish spinning wheel from around 1900. This image, taken from the Library of Congress collection, is a posed photo taken for nostalgic purpose—by the time this picture was taken, the spinning wheel had been out of use in virtually all practical everyday situations for at least a half-century.[citation needed]Hindoo Spinning-Wheel (1852)[1]
