EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time at the stenographers department of R. Martens & Co. Inc. in New York, circa 1916 or 1917. The image showcases a bustling workspace filled with dedicated men and women diligently immersed in their desk jobs. Rows of typewriters line the room, each one being skillfully operated by these secretaries and typists. The atmosphere exudes professionalism as workers focus on transcribing important documents, taking dictation, and organizing files within the filing cabinets that surround them. The scene is reminiscent of an era when stenography played a crucial role in business communication. Despite the gender norms prevalent during this period, both male and female employees are seen working side by side, highlighting the progressive nature of R. Martens & Co. Inc. 's workforce for its time. The silver gelatin print beautifully captures the essence of early 20th-century office life through its impeccable composition and attention to detail. It serves as a testament to the dedication and hard work put forth by these individuals who were integral to keeping businesses running smoothly. Preserved within the Museum of the City of New York's collection, this photograph offers us a glimpse into history while honoring those who paved the way for modern-day desk jobs we often take for granted today.
