EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a dedicated writer employing the Pitman Method of Shorthand, an efficient and revolutionary means of recording spoken words at remarkable speed. The year is 1935, and the writer's focused expression conveys the importance and significance of this skill in an era where the exchange of ideas and communications was primarily through letters and face-to-face conversations. The historical image, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, boasts an intriguing connection to Fortune magazine. In just five short years, this esteemed publication had managed to amass an impressive subscriber base of over 100,000 individuals. The power of the written word, combined with the efficiency of Pitman Shorthand, played a crucial role in enabling such rapid growth. The writer in the photograph holds a Pitman shorthand notebook and a pencil, ready to capture every word spoken in a meeting or conversation. The envelope in the foreground serves as a reminder of the importance of the postal service during this time, as letters were the primary means of long-distance communication. The Pitman Method of Shorthand, established in the late 19th century by Sir Isaac Pitman, revolutionized the way people took notes and recorded information. Its popularity continued well into the 20th century, making it an essential skill for professionals, students, and anyone seeking to keep up with the fast-paced world of communications. This photograph is not only a testament to the power of the written word and the importance of efficient communication but also a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the dedication and focus required to master the art of shorthand.
