Hi Lee, I only have the one photo of a vintage engraving of plasterers here:  http://mamluke.tumblr.com/post/645589873/plastering-photograph-of-a-vintage-engraving

I don’t come across workers depicted that often, but if I do I’ll be sure to post it! :)

My photo detail of the illustration “The Mail Wagon” within “India and its Native Princes” 1876 - Scribner’s.  The text and illustrations are uncredited in my copy, but I’m pretty sure it’s from Louis-Théophile Marie Rousselet ‘s (1845-1929) “L’Inde des Rajahs: Voyage Dans l’Inde Centrale”  Chapter: XXVII - ‘The Ruins of Futtehpore’  of 1875
