EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1895 and 1910 in Berlin, Germany, showcases the daily life of a shop assistant, C. Schapski, working at a clothing store. The image, captured using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, transports us back in time to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The shop interior is filled with an intriguing mix of old-world charm and modernity. A cash register sits prominently on the counter, symbolizing the growing commercialization of the retail industry. Rows of clothing, including dresses and blouses, are neatly arranged on shelves and racks, waiting to be tried on by customers. The shop assistant, dressed in a simple yet elegant outfit, is intently focused on her task, her expression revealing a sense of determination and dedication. The photograph, from the Keystone Archives at the Library of Congress, offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily routines of women at work during this period. It also highlights the evolution of fashion and retail trends during the 1890s, 1900s, and 1910s. The contrast between the white and black elements in the photograph adds to its visual appeal and timeless quality. Despite the passage of time, this photograph remains a valuable piece of heritage art, providing us with a unique window into the past and a reminder of the rich history of Berlin and Germany.
