"The Common Method of Beetling Scutching and Hackling the Flax, Plate IV of The Linen Manufactory of Ireland" is an 18th-century engraving by the British artist William Hincks. This work is part of a series of engravings that depict various stages of linen production in Ireland, highlighting the significance of the linen industry to the Irish economy during that period. Plate IV specifically illustrates the processes of beetling, scutching, and hackling, which are essential steps in refining flax fibers before they are spun into linen yarn.

Beetling refers to the pounding of linen or cotton fabric to give a flat, lustrous effect. Scutching involves the removal of the woody core from the flax fibers, and hackling is the combing process that separates the fine fibers from the coarse ones. These processes were typically performed manually or with the help of simple machinery, and Hincks' work captures the labor-intensive nature of these tasks, as well as the skill and care taken by the workers.

William Hincks aimed to document the technical aspects of linen production, as well as to provide a social commentary on the industry's role in Irish life. His engravings are valuable historical records of the textile industry and are notable for their attention to detail and the insight they provide into the working conditions of the time. "The Common Method of Beetling Scutching and Hackling the Flax, Plate IV" serves not only as an artistic representation but also as an informative piece that contributes to the understanding of Ireland's industrial heritage.
