EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Co. - Telephone Girls, 1914," is a stunning black-and-white image created by the renowned photography studio, Harris & Ewing. The photograph showcases a group of telephone girls, elegantly dressed in fashionable apparel, gathered outside the Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Company building in Washington, D.C. The image exudes a sense of progress and industry, as these women, clad in stylish coats, hats, and dresses, prepare to leave the office for the day. The exterior of the building, with its large glass windows and ornate detailing, serves as an impressive backdrop to the scene. The photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily lives of these telephone operators during the early 20th century. The women, who were an essential part of the communication industry, played a crucial role in connecting people across the country. This photograph is a valuable addition to the Harris & Ewing Collection, which is housed in the Library of Congress. The collection, which includes over 150,000 glass negatives, offers a rich visual record of American history, capturing moments from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The photograph is a testament to the important role that women played in the workforce during this era, and it serves as a reminder of the significant impact that the telephone had on communication and connectivity in America.
