Scope and Content

Photograph of a woman holding a tobacco leaf in front of a tobacco field in the early 20th century. The text beneath the image notes that the 'success of Major G F Whitmore's tobacco farm at Methwold, in South West Norfolk makes English grown tobacco a distinct possibility of the near future. The photograph shows the dress worn by women working on Major Whitmore's plantation.'
