EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "La Demoiselle de Comptoir" or "The Cashier Girl," dates back to 1850 and offers a glimpse into the daily life of a female cashier during the mid-19th century. The demure young woman, dressed in a high-necked blouse and full skirt, sits attentively behind a small shop counter. Her hands are poised, one holding a quill pen and the other resting on a stack of ledgers. Her expression is focused and serious, indicating her dedication to her role as a cashier. The shop, with its simple wooden shelves and glass-fronted display cases, adds to the authenticity of the scene. The presence of the cashier's hat, adorned with a ribbon and feather, further emphasizes her professional status. The quill pen and ledgers suggest that record-keeping was an essential part of her duties, reflecting the importance of accurate record-keeping in business transactions during this era. The image of "La Demoiselle de Comptoir" offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of shopkeeping and retail trade during the mid-19th century. It also highlights the growing role of women in the workforce, as they increasingly took on roles in shops and businesses, contributing to the economic and social fabric of their communities.
