EDITORS COMMENTS
"Step into the past with this stunning photograph of a Hall Type-Writer, an engineering marvel of the late 19th century. The image showcases a writer intently focused on their work, their hands poised above the keys, ready to type out their thoughts. The Hall Type-Writer, available from the esteemed Witherby and Co. in High Holborn, London, was the first portable writing machine of its time. Dating back to September 1885, this typewriter revolutionized the way people wrote, allowing them to take their compositions with them wherever they went. Its sleek design and compact size made it a must-have for journalists, authors, and anyone who valued the convenience of being able to write on the go. Imported from the United States, the Hall Type-Writer was a testament to the global exchange of ideas and innovations during this period. With its sturdy build and reliable performance, it quickly gained popularity among the literary elite and the general public alike. As you gaze at this photograph, imagine the stories that have been crafted on this very machine, the thoughts that have been penned down, and the ideas that have been brought to life. The Hall Type-Writer stands as a symbol of the rich history of writing and the enduring allure of the written word. So, take a moment to appreciate this piece of history and the role it played in shaping the way we communicate today. And, if you're feeling inspired, perhaps it's time to pick up a pen (or a typewriter) and start writing your own story." Image Courtesy of Mary Evans Prints Online. Rights Managed.
