EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1890 and 1910 by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, offers a unique glimpse into the daily operations of the Stamp Division at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in Washington D.C. During this period, the Bureau was responsible for producing various types of securities for the United States Government, including stamps. The image captures a bustling interior scene, with women and men intently focused on their tasks at the machines. The women, dressed in long skirts and blouses, operate the stamping presses with precision, while the men, wearing collared shirts and ties, oversee the production process. The atmosphere is one of industry and productivity, as the workers efficiently churn out stamps for circulation. The photograph is an important historical record of the early 20th century American workforce, particularly the role of women in the labor force during this time. The image is also a testament to the technological advancements of the era, with the use of sophisticated machinery to produce large quantities of stamps. This photograph is part of the Guy and Awsumb Collection of Cyanotypes at the Library of Congress, which showcases a diverse range of images documenting American life during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The collection is an invaluable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in understanding the history and culture of the United States during this period.
