EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in New York in 1916-17, offers a glimpse into the bustling export and filing office of R. Martens & Co. Inc. The image showcases a harmonious blend of men and women diligently engaged in their desk jobs, surrounded by stacks of paperwork that symbolize the industriousness of this era. The atmosphere within the office is clinical and utilitarian, with rows of desks neatly arranged to maximize efficiency. Typewriters stand as silent witnesses to the rhythmic clatter they produce throughout the day, capturing an essence of productivity that defined this period. The composition exudes a sense of unity between genders as both male and female workers are captured side by side, each contributing their skills to propel business operations forward. This snapshot serves as a testament to the evolving role of women in the workforce during early 20th century America. Preserved through time on silver gelatin print, this photograph transports us back to an era where hard work was valued above all else. It stands as a tribute not only to those depicted but also to countless others who dedicated themselves behind closed doors for companies like R. Martens & Co. , shaping American commerce. Displayed at the Museum of the City of New York, this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images captures an important chapter in our nation's history – one where determination and collaboration paved the way for progress.
