EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the 1910s, two women, Genevieve Chapin and Sue Court, are engrossed in their work at an office desk. The image, captured by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, offers a glimpse into the home front during the First World War. Genevieve, the woman in the foreground, is intently focused on a letter, her brow furrowed in concentration. The document, dated 6 September 1918, is written on Executive Postal Censorship Committee notepaper, stamped "Confidential," and bears the signature of C. H. Calhoun. The contents of the letter are not revealed, but the presence of military intelligence and code-related terms suggests that these women played crucial roles in the transmission and decoding of sensitive information between the USA and the Canary Islands during the war. Sue Court, seated behind Genevieve, looks up from her work, her expression thoughtful. The women's attire – blouses, collars, and neatly tied buns – speaks to the era's professional dress code. The office setting, with its wooden desk, glass-fronted cabinets, and a small potted plant, exudes an air of productivity and order. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of these two women and the essential role they played in the war effort during the 1910s. The image is a testament to their dedication, focus, and the importance of information exchange during a time of global conflict.
