EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the awe-inspiring sight of The $100,000 Typewriter, an extraordinary exhibit showcased at The Palace of Liberal Arts during The Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco, California, in 1915. Weighing an impressive 14 tons and 1728 times larger than a standard Underwood typewriter, this colossal machine was a true marvel of engineering and artistry. Seated before the giant typewriter, with a determined expression on her face, is a secretary diligently at work. The keys of this monstrous machine, each as large as a dinner plate, dwarf her small hands. The intricate details of the typewriter's mechanism are visible, revealing the inner workings of this engineering marvel. The $100,000 Typewriter was a highlight of the exhibition, drawing crowds of curious visitors who marveled at the ingenuity and creativity of the designers. The Panama-Pacific Exposition, held in San Francisco to celebrate the completion of the Panama Canal, showcased the latest technological innovations and artistic creations from around the world. This photograph is a testament to the power of human imagination and the ability to create something truly unique and awe-inspiring. The $100,000 Typewriter may have been a mere novelty, but it served as a reminder of the limitless potential of human ingenuity and the power of innovation to captivate and inspire.
