Hackling Flax by hand. The stalks were broken apart by beating down on a metal comb. They were then retted (rotted) in water to remove the soft tissue; leaving the fibrous material. The long fibres of the stem Flax plant (Linum) were processed to produce linen. Engraving from "Great Industries of Great Britain" (London; c1880).
