The Waltham Watch Company factory complex stands behind a grassy common and a row of bare deciduous trees, with long industrial buildings and a tower under a plain sky. The caption identifies the view as the front of the works and notes a new addition, pointing to the company's expansion in the early 1900s. Waltham was one of the country's leading watchmaking centers, and the company's precision watches and mass-production methods made it a major local employer.
