EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a cheeky and impertinent office boy from 1917 who, when discouraged from whistling while he works, defends himself by boldly owning up to the fact that he was only whistling and not actually working. His saucy confession showcases his honesty and refusal to be reprimanded for simply enjoying himself on the job.
In a time when clerks were expected to be diligent and focused at all times, this young man's defiant attitude is both refreshing and amusing. His willingness to speak the truth, even if it means admitting to slacking off, is a testament to his character and sense of humor.
The image exudes a sense of history and nostalgia, transporting viewers back to an era where office culture was vastly different from what we know today. The impertinent office boy's confident demeanor as he defends his actions adds a touch of coxy charm to the scene.
Overall, this print is a delightful reminder that sometimes it's okay to break the rules and have a little fun in the workplace. The impertinent office boy may not have been the model employee, but his candidness and wit make him an endearing figure in this snapshot of early 20th-century commerce.
