EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a glimpse into the office of Carolyn Laundry at 111 East 128th Street in East Harlem, New York, back in 1929. The image showcases an intriguing combination of vintage office equipment and furniture that exudes a sense of nostalgia. In the foreground, we see what appears to be an adding machine, a fascinating mechanical device used for calculations before the advent of modern computers. Its intricate mechanism hints at the meticulous nature of work conducted within this space. Adjacent to it stands a filing cabinet with small drawers, suggesting an organized system for storing important documents. The composition evokes a sense of professionalism and efficiency prevalent during that era. The attention to detail is evident not only in the carefully arranged machinery but also in the overall layout and design of the office space. The silver gelatin print adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its timeless quality. This photograph serves as a window into early twentieth-century business practices and reminds us of how far technology has advanced since then. Displayed proudly at the Museum of City New York, this piece by Byron Company captures both historical significance and artistic beauty.
