An albumen print on cabinet card depicting a wooden cotton press in use. The press has steps leading up to a platform on which a man is standing and loading cotton into the machine. The machine has a central screw supported by a pyramidal frame at the top. To the right of the press stand three (3) men, all wearing hats and one with a large beard. The ground is covered in pieces of cotton, and finished bales sit to the left of the machine. Behind the press is a small wooden building. Further in the background are additional buildings and trees. The photograph is faded with a yellowish tint and mounted on a piece of board with rounded corners that is green on the front and gray on the back. A small hole is located at the top center of the backing board. The back is printed with text identifying the series and photographer.
