I Loved a Little Typist Girl, 1935
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the essence of a bygone era when office romances bloomed amidst the clatter of typewriter keys. In this print by Vera Paterson, we are transported back to the vibrant and colorful world of 1930s America. The image portrays a young boy, perhaps an office worker himself, gazing fondly at a typist girl who has captured his heart. The colors pop with nostalgia as we witness their innocent love story unfold in the midst of bustling desks and stacks of paper. The typewriter becomes both their connection and barrier as they navigate through their secret romance. Paterson's artistic vision beautifully encapsulates the gender dynamics prevalent during that time period. Women at work were breaking barriers, embracing new roles in society while still facing societal expectations. This postcard-like scene invites us to reflect on how professions shaped relationships and challenged traditional notions of romance. Accompanying this enchanting photograph is a poignant poem penned by Shirley Markham: "I loved a little typist girl. . . 1935. . . . and life seemed bright and gay, but now I've finished with her for I hear she clicks all day". These words add depth to the image, evoking emotions that resonate beyond its visual appeal. As we admire this piece from Keystone Archives' collection, let us appreciate not only its kitsch charm but also recognize it as an ode to an era long gone - where love blossomed amidst ink-stained fingers
