EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "TYPIST & BOSS," transports us back in time to the late 19th century, specifically the year 1890. The image, available through Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a rare and intriguing glimpse into the world of office work during this era. The photograph features a confident and focused lady typist, her eyes fixed on the typewriter before her, as she meticulously crafts words that would once have been handwritten or dictated. Her employer, a distinguished gentleman, looks on approvingly, his posture reflecting the air of authority and supervision that was commonplace in the workplace of the time. The typist's attire is both practical and feminine, with a high collar blouse, long skirt, and a neatly tied apron. Her hands, poised above the keys, are adorned with delicate gloves, a common accessory for women of the period. The employer, on the other hand, is dressed in a formal suit, complete with a top hat and cane, signaling his status and wealth. The photograph also reveals the office setting, with its wooden desk, piles of paperwork, and a large, ornate clock, all of which add to the authenticity of the scene. The typist and her boss were likely part of a larger office staff, working together to produce documents, reports, and correspondence for various businesses and organizations. As we reflect on this historical image, we are reminded of the significant role that typists played in the commercial world, bridging the gap between manual labor and the advent of modern technology. The typist's skill and dedication, combined with the employer's oversight and direction, were essential components of the office environment during this period. This photograph, "TYPIST & BOSS," offers a fascinating window into a bygone era, inviting us to ponder the evolution of work and the changing roles of men and women in the workplace.
