Description
English: Women lumberjacks at Pityoulish lumber camp. They are sorting out timber and flinging each tree-trunk on to the right

heap. This is, indeed, heavy work even for men, and it may will be a matter of pride to us all that women have come forward to undertake it as a service to the nation.' (from portfolio notes, Women's Work in the War)
 image: In the foreground three women, dressed in dungarees and head scarves, are lifting and manoeuvring logs. Further away, two other women are carrying a log. The foreground is strewn with logs. In the background the logs are stacked in ordered

piles.
Date 1941 (Second World War)

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
