In the past, country people commonly used linen underwear and bed linens and performed the complete process of dressing of flax themselves. Currently, even if some people cultivate flax, it is then dresses by machines. The photo was taken by its owner in the autumn of 1944 ; autumn 1944, Wzdół Rządowy, com.
