EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the turn of the century, specifically to the year 1890 when the U. S. Census was conducted using innovative technology. The image showcases a horizontal section of a circuit closing press from a Hollerith census tabulator, which played a crucial role in collecting and processing data for this national survey. The wood engraving, created by an anonymous contemporary American artist, beautifully captures the intricate details of this technological marvel. The diagram reveals the inner workings of Herman Hollerith's invention, providing us with a glimpse into how it revolutionized data collection during that era. As we examine this historical artifact closely, we are reminded of America's relentless pursuit of progress and efficiency. This engraving symbolizes not only advancements in technology but also highlights our nation's commitment to accurate record-keeping and understanding its population. While we admire this piece as an artistic representation, it is important to note that it does not mention any commercial use or reference any specific company associated with Hollerith's invention. Instead, it serves as a testament to human ingenuity and innovation at one particular moment in history – capturing both the spirit of late 19th-century America and its dedication to harnessing new technologies for societal benefit.
