This plate shows the master smoker, who keeps up the 

 fire ; smokers to withdraw the herring from the brine 

 and put them to drain in baskets ; women who string 

 them on wands and hand them to men who hang them 

 in the " loves " (lourres), and men who take them 

 down when sufficiently smoked. The herring are then 

 examined by a man who counts them before passing them 

 to be packed in barrels and rejects defective fish. (From 

 Du Hamel du Monceau. See Bibliography.)
