EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Three Treasury Department Employees in Office,' was captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston between 1884 and 1930. The image offers a rare glimpse into the daily workings of the Treasury Department during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Three well-dressed men, deep in concentration, are seen seated at their desks in a spacious, ornate office. The room is adorned with a grand fireplace, a large mahogany desk, and a scattering of papers and documents. The men, likely administrators or bureaucrats, are engrossed in their work, their expressions serious as they scrutinize the papers before them. One man holds a pen in hand, poised to make a notation, while another leans back in his chair, a stack of documents at his side. The third man, an attache, sorts through a pile of papers on his desk. This photograph is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the employees of the Treasury Department during this era. It offers a glimpse into the daily routines of government workers during a time when paperwork and record-keeping were essential components of their jobs. The image is a valuable addition to the Heritage Art collection at the Library of Congress and serves as a reminder of the rich history and heritage of the United States government.
