EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing in 1912, showcases a man in uniform at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing within the Treasury Department in Washington, D.C. The man, dressed in formal attire, is intently focused on a communication apparatus. The use of electricity for telecommunication was a novel concept during the early 1900s, and this image offers a glimpse into the integration of technology into daily work life. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing, an agency of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, is responsible for producing currency and securities for the United States. The man in the photograph could be a messenger, relaying important information between departments or branches of the organization. He wears a formal uniform, complete with a hat and coat, reflecting the professionalism and importance of his role. The communication device the man is using appears to be a loudspeaker or receiver, which would have been an essential tool for long-distance communication during this era. The photograph offers a fascinating look into the past, showcasing the intersection of fashion, technology, and work during the 1910s in America. This image is part of the Harris Ewing Collection, housed in the Library of Congress. The collection, which includes over 40,000 glass negatives, offers a rich visual history of the United States during the early 20th century. The photograph is a testament to the advancements in technology and the evolving nature of work during this period.
