EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing how an employee's absence from work was recorded in the 1920s. Taken by an English photographer, this image is part of a private collection and provides valuable insight into historical business practices. The photograph depicts a scene from Harmsworths Business Encyclopedia and Commercial Educator, published around 1926. In this illustration, we see a trade or commercial setting with various goods transport equipment visible in the background. However, it is the central focus that truly captivates our attention - a clock-like timepiece used for recording employee absences. A card with a unique number can be seen inserted into slots on the board surrounding the timepiece. When an employee would be absent from work, they would depress a lever on this apparatus to impress their arrival or departure time onto their respective card. This method allowed employers to keep meticulous records of each worker's attendance. As we delve deeper into history through images like these, we gain insights not only into specific industries but also broader societal norms and technological advancements of that era. The intricate details captured within this photograph provide us with invaluable glimpses into how businesses operated during the early twentieth century. Through Bridgeman Images' fine art finder platform, we are fortunate enough to have access to such remarkable visual representations of our shared past.
