EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration from the early 1920s depicts the heightened security measures taken by a Chicago bank to protect against the increasing threat of bank robberies during this era. The image showcases an armored pill-box, a fortified structure designed to safeguard valuable assets. The pill-box is manned by an armed guard, ready to defend against any potential intruders. The use of armored pill-boxes was a significant innovation in bank security during this time, as they provided a physical barrier between the valuables and potential thieves. The thick steel walls of the pill-box made it nearly impossible for robbers to breach, ensuring the safety of the bank's assets. The illustration also highlights the importance of an armed guard, who was a crucial component of the bank's security team. Armed guards were responsible for monitoring the premises, deterring potential threats, and responding to any incidents that might occur. This historical image provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the innovative security measures that were employed to protect banks from the threat of robberies. The use of armored pill-boxes and armed guards became a common sight in banks across the United States during the 1920s and beyond, reflecting the growing importance of security in an increasingly complex and dangerous world. The precise date of this illustration is 1921, and it was published by the Illustrated London News. It is an important historical record of the measures taken by banks to protect their valuables and ensure the safety of their customers during a time of heightened criminal activity.
