The image depicts a historical scene set in a workshop, likely from the 19th century. In the foreground, there is a large, intricate machine with gears and a flat surface, which appears to be a paper bag-making machine. The machine is positioned on a wooden table, and there are stacks of paper bags in the background, suggesting an active production environment.

In the background, a person wearing a maroon shirt and a brown apron is operating the machine, with their hands visible as they work. The setting includes a large window with a grid pattern, allowing natural light to illuminate the scene. The walls are made of brick, adding to the industrial atmosphere.

Text overlaying the image provides historical context, stating that in 1868, New England inventor Margaret E. Knight built a machine that cut, folded, and glued square-bottom paper bags. It mentions that she won a patent interference case and received U.S. Patent 116,842 on July 11, 1871, launching the standard bag used worldwide.
