EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library captures the humorous and thought-provoking Victorian satire titled "Making of a Clerk." The image depicts the journey of a young man entering the world of commerce as an office clerk, to ultimately becoming an old man with a crooked back.
The top hat-wearing young lad at the beginning of his career symbolizes sharpness and ambition, ready to take on the challenges of nineteenth-century work life. As time passes, we see him transformed into an elderly figure with a hunched back, reflecting the toll that years of hard work and dedication have taken on him.
Through this satirical portrayal, we are reminded of the harsh realities faced by clerks during this historical period. The contrast between youth and old age serves as a poignant commentary on the effects of long hours spent in offices and the pressures of climbing up the corporate ladder.
Mary Evans Prints Online has beautifully captured this piece of history, allowing us to reflect on how far we have come in terms of workplace conditions and treatment. It is a reminder to appreciate our modern-day advancements while also acknowledging the struggles faced by those who came before us in shaping our current work environments.
